[SML] lighting for video (from a live theatre background)

[Lou Poppler]

Hi Andrew,

Make your lighting softer and more _even_.  Not exactly frost, but "diffusion"
in every instrument.  Also color correction (CTB) in every incandescent unit.
Soften the focus, no hard edges.  If there's no audience, nobody cares if there
is spill into the house, right ?   Overlap and over-light.  You can always dim
it a little if the video folks complain it's too bright.  Fresnels are good,
also par-cans are good.  Bounce can be useful if you have some kind of
reflective panels or flats.  The people in the shot should be lit from EVERY
direction, not just from the front.
