[SML] Dance Boom Focus

[Blackfaer]

Biggest goal is to get as even a side wash as possible for the center third of the stage up and downstage. I do a shin or two shutter cut off the floor to give an ethereal look, usually in a cool color with low saturation, often do a saturated blue for nutcracker night scenes and a saturated amber for firelight up higher at head height or a bit above. Mix the colors for more neutral sidelight for candy land scenes.

Assume 42x24 stage, three 8' booms per side,  26º Source 4s at 2' and 4', 36º Source 4s at 6'.  Also curious what people's go-to gels are for sidelight.
