"R05 is my go to front light fill; I've also had a lot of success using 1/4 or 1/2 minusgreen and surprise pink.

Conventional Front Uplighting Question
Hey All. Been watching a lot of tv band performances. Gotta Love Palladia!I am seeing more and more conventional par cans in front of each downstage performer providing front/key light uplighting.

Ray Robins replied to Steven Leonard's discussion Gel Poll?
"Depends on the show. Straight plays I tend to run more on the 02 or 05, musicals 33 or 333. Here at the church I run 08 in the front to warm up the talent without going too orange for the IMAG cameras we run. All of that is predicated on S4 source -…"
Brit Manning replied to Steven Leonard's discussion Gel Poll?
"I actually combined both of them once (one cut of each in a single frame) on a whim when I was designing a straight play with actors of light and dark skin tones and was very happy with the outcome. I think that combination is very close to 05 which…"

"It depends on what source is pushing it. 134 golden amber is great on mixed skin color bands. I also use 176 golden amber, or 156 chocolate with higher power... I also use 33 & 02 quite a bit. The B.Amb for sickly pale artists on lower power…"
