Fall sunset in Vermont
3 Altman cyc lights: R27-Medium Red, R80-Primary Blue, R15-Deep Straw
Front light: One 26 degree Source 4: R20-Medium Amber
Sidelight: Two 36 degree source 4s: R27-Medium Red, R22-Deep Amber; Leaves Realistic
When I think of Fall I think of very warm colors with red and orange leaves everywhere, hence the choice of gobos. I wanted it to look like the Sun was shining right on the person. I chose to make the background pink to contrast with the orange and yellow tones but still maintain the warmth.
Easter Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral
2 Altman cyc lights: R80-Primary Blue, R15-Deep Straw
Sidelight: Four 36 degree Source 4s: R80-Primary Blue, R336-Billington Pink, R58-Deep Lavender, R92-Turquoise; Gobo: Church Window
Backlight: 1 PAR can (64mfl): L102-Light Amber
Churches tend to have a lot of stained glass, and considering the gobo is called “Church Window” I think it’s quite fitting. I chose colors that are in the typical Easter color scheme. Since this person is standing in the cathedral, I wanted the “sunlight” to be less harsh.
Noon on a hot summer day in the Caribbean
2 Altman cyc lights: R80-Primary Blue, R126-Green Cyc Silk
Front light: One 26 degree Source 4: L102-Light Amber
Sidelight: Two 36 degree Source 4s: R130-Medium Blue Green Silk, Gobo-Foliage Jungle; R72-Azure Blue, Gobo-Water Shimmering
Top light: One 6” Fresnel: L102-Light Amber
Back light: One 8” Fresnel: 8450-Spanked Pink
The bright yellow light shows how intense the sun is. Cyan is a rather tropical color, and the pink is as well (it also adds some warmth to contrast from the cool blues and greens.)
Winter afternoon just before the snow
2 Altman Cyc Lights: R80-Primary Blue, R15-Deep Straw
Front light: One 26 degree Source 4: R55-Lilac
Side light: Two 36 degree Source 4s: R57-Lavender, R78-Trudy Blue
Top light: One 6” Fresnel: L102-Light Amber
I wanted there to be a lot of cool tones to represent the cold weather and winter, but I didn’t make the color too white since it is not snowing yet. There is just the tiniest bit of sunlight left.
