I've been browsing CB for a couple of months, but this is my first thread here (so please bear with me!)
I am a complete Newbie when it comes to lighting design (so please excuse any verbiage mistakes, and feel free to correct them), but I will be going on my first 5 week tour with a 6 piece band in February/March. I will be traveling with 5 LED par cans (Blizzard Pucks) and my own board (Scene Setter 24) to use for uplighting.
My question is regarding color filters/gels. I have color choices in mind, but have no idea how many sheets to order of each individual color. There will be about 35 shows during this particular tour. So far in the advancement process, I have a maximum of about 24 par cans at any one venue [Please see attached Lighting Plot for Lincoln Hall, if you need a visual
].
For concert lighting, is there a standard amount of each gel that I should have while traveling? Also, how many different color choices should be in my design?
If you'd like to recommend particular gels that you use in your concert lighting - feel free! I've been becoming familiar with Rosco lately, but I'm open to other brand recommendations.
Thanks for any input!
