To create that warm country feel, I used R02 for most of my stage wash. In Judd's shack, I lit it with R99 to set get a warm, but grungy feel. We spent a bit of time making the sunset on the back of the wall using LED pars. They had to be gelled with R104 to make them work better as cyc lights. I always default to the Rosco color picker on my Martin M1 for LED colors.

Sticky Majesty included a simultaneous duet and trio occupying two spaces - a "forest" and a "desert"
1 - R2003 plus GAM templates evoked a sickly scattered and broken light in the forest.
2 - I used R3208 from all directions to create a bright white space - hot and arid like the desert.
3 - Templates in R10 shot across the floor for Molly Lieber's excruciating slow and beautiful cross.

This is the scene in the wizard of oz where the world in which Dorothy is begins changing from black and white to full of color. In this scene, i used a mixture of R08, R02, and R302 all diffused with R119 to get the quality of light i wanted to achieve on Dorothy herself as well as the scenery in the background.

"Auditions-1" was lit with Fresnels gelled with R02 that were shooting straight at the ground to give a very dramatic introduction to an extremely silly scene with the atmosphere that was created from the bounce light off of the white floor of the platforms.

"Head in the Game" was lit using a R324. The punchy red really brought out the primary red costume pieces, and allowed for the athletes to be immersed in this stylistic high school.

The above photos are showing a front warm wash using R351. R351 helped greatly in this production by lighting skin tones perfectly, and not having so much blue content that it made red costumes purple.

My goal for this event was to transform a space used nightly (a lobby) into a unique a interesting venue that would being people in and make them stay while still drawing attention to the stage and the "judges station". My inspiration was kindo of a "musical theatre forest". On one end was a "river"; on the other were "trees" and as as backdrop for the whole event was a bright yellow "sun" which was both a statement piece as well as a moment that created silhouettes of the guests which made beautiful picture opportunities.

turning the Red Rocks stage into a Home and garden show during the last presidential campaign for Mitt Romney involved many vendors and lots of Fresnel lighting. softening and balancing the light for TV was required.

Pure Awesomeness.
