These photos are all screen grabs from a short film shot using Rosco Gels for cinema. The first photo is of a bartender experiencing an extraterrestrial event from inside of his tired bar late at night. The lights coming through the window are an Arri T12 and 3 1,000watt Pars all gelled with Rosco3202 Full CTB. The second photo is a shot from earlier in the film as the bartender makes his way around cleaning up the bar before closing. In the right corner of the frame you can see the window is raked with light; a 650 watt Mole-Richardson Tweenie with Rosco3152 Urban Vapor to replicate the glow of an exterior street light. The last photo is from the climax of the film as the roof of the bar is ripped open and flooded with light from an alien space ship. The bright blue glow is from a Mole-Richardson 9-lite Maxi that was faced with Rosco3202 Full Blue CTB (to match the color of the Elation Platinum Beam 5Rs) and then bloused with C3027 Diffusion.

"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson"
Buck's Rock Camp, July 2012
Directed by Jason Zimbler
Lighting Design by Alana Jacoby

Though I'm a big fan of color in general, I stuck to a very limited palette for this one: red was a must, considering how angry and bloody the show is, plus blue for some of the more emo numbers and plenty of no-color toplight and blinders to help create a rock concert feel added up to a nice patriotic color palette for this America-centric musical.

R27 was my heavy hitter for this show, and one of my all-time favorites!

Peter Pan - City Centre Musical Productions 2011
Meadowvale Theatre | Mississauga, ON
Lighting Design: Alex Boxall
Colours: R305 (Front), R124/125/126 (False "RGB" Fixture Top Wash), R21 (Warm Top Fill)
Gobo: R78228 (Irregular Dots)

Note: The false "RGB" wash came from a set of older Cyc Cells, treated as an RGB LED in the console.

The colours were chosen to convey the idea of 'Sunset' at the Indian Camp. The Gobo overlay was used to give the impression of moonlight breaking through the trees.
The depth of colour in this photo is being produced mainly by the twin Top Washes, with significant amber drift from the front light.
