We're going to talk a little bit about
the lighting.

And

don't get scared, because I'm going to
break it all down for you.

But

this is what we used.

So

we started with three pro photo d ones
and five pro photo d ones.

So I have five pro photo b ones.

The b ones are the portable 500
watheads, and the d ones were the 500 Watt

monolites that plug in.

In.

Truth, they're not changing image
quality that's just what we happen to

have.

They're all pretty much interchangeable.

And for my purposes, I'm not looking
for a fast recycle time, a tremendous

amount of power.

So for the most part, all of my lights
are around a 500 Watt head.

In this particular case because we're
running everywhere in the theater.

It was a little bit easier to use b
ones because of the portability and the

lack of having to plug them in.

That was helpful for us.

Also, several of these lights are not

used as strobes.

They are used as constant lights
because it was a relatively low power

situation.

So know that you could have also sub
that out with something continuous,

lamp, whatever also works.

It's just more about, you know,

work in with what you have.

So I've got three pro photo d ones,
five pro photo b ones.

There's also a pro, a 2400 wat pack.

And the reason we had that was to power
two multi spot fernells with the data,

like dp.

One attachment.

And this is a very specialty thing.

So I said that I wanted a spotlight,

ok,

so I want to spotlight.

How do I make the spotlight?

Well, there's not a whole lot of ways
to achieve that.

You need a spotlight attachment.

And

what pro photo

currently offers

is

they have something called a datalight
attachment that sits on top of a multi

spot for Nell.

And it gives you

that really hard edge

to the spot, so that when the light
projects through the space, it gives

you the definition.

It gives you that actual spotlight edge.

That used to make something called a
zoom spot, which also did that, but

they discontinued it several years ago,
and they're up

almost impossible to find.

So this became the solution.

Another one that I used to use, that I
have at home, it's called a spot projector.

And

it doesn't have the power behind it,
because it's a smaller, a smaller

modifier.

You can't throw it across

a big environment, like an open
theater.

It doesn't work.

It's not big enough, it's not powerful
enough.

So what I had to use was the multe spot
for now, with the datalight dp.

And

I had never used one of these before

before this day.

So know that, hey, I need to create
this effect.

What tool do I need to create this
effect?

This is all about

finding the right tool for the job,
knowing what you have to achieve first,

and then figuring out the tool that you
need to achieve it.

And this was one of those instances, I
need a spotlight.

Great.

What can I use that can throw a
spotlight across a theater?

And so that was what I found.

That was what we had, that was
available to red, and that's what we used.

So that's how you want to really
address it,

figure out what you got to do first,
and then find the solution.

So

it's the multi spot for now.

It's now, the multi spots

max out a 1200.

The multiplace max out of a 1200 Watt.

So

we've got the 2400 so that we could
plug two of them into a pack and split

the power.

Because as soon as you start putting
more than 1200 Watts

into that head it'll blow it up.

And you don't want to do that because
they're expensive.

Additionally, we used a pro photoxel
deep white umbrella

to create big, soft light.

And then I used a five foot octabox

for the mainlight on my subject.

And just to be fun and creative, I use
the flashlight,

and I'm going to show you what that
looks like

a little bit later.

The flashlight we used as a little bit
of a hairlight,

just

because

so it'll be fun.

I'm going to show you that in just a
minute.

All right, so

this is all the gear.

If you are

tabited up, it's eleven,

it's eleven lights, counting the
flashlight,
