As the characters progressed in the dance and began to interact with each other, I opened up the space and focused the light on their whole bodies, using the R362 in the mids and the R360 in the shins more than the heads and blue backlights. The feel of their environment went from a deeper blue, through a cooler, less saturate blue and then transitioned toward a warmer white to enhance the idea of leaving 'where they had been' and progressing to 'where they were going,' a major theme for the characters that each of the dancers portrayed. In 'Naked City' it was surprising how much warmer their skin looked when lit primarily by the R360 in this photo, in contrast to the R78 in the preceding one-often one runs the risk of whiter skin fluorescing when strongly lit by a cool white color such as R360.
