Hi, this is my first post.
I am volunteering at a local college and they regularly have dance shows in there.
I know that dancers should always be lit from the side but the setup is only very basic with just 1 15amp floor socket either side of the stage and a limited number of spare fixtures at my disposal.....so here is my idea.....
I intend to split each socket and run 2 Selecon LUI 1000 watt cyc lights to the foot of the two foremost soft flats...angled slightly upwards. I think this will be ok but I am unsure of what colour gel to put in each. I was thinking of either a cool blue to help with blue silhouette effects or a medium bastard amber?
Obviously there are overhead LX bars on stage and FOH....I'm just trying to be creative with the side lighting
Any thoughts and/or ideas on this would be of great help.
I am trying desperately to convince them to purchase some upright booms and new fixtures so any thoughts on this would also help.
Many Thanks
Dave
