[SML] Gel colors for Sweeney Todd

[Riter, Andrew]

I've seen interesting looks with R99 (Chocolate) and R 97 and R98 (the neutral densities).  You can get intensity down without lamps warming up.

Foot lights could also be "severe."

Look at the Rosco Sodium correction.  (converts Tungsten to sodium vapour -ish)
