fireball40k Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Guys, Apologies for dragging up the subject of a fashion show again but I could do with suggestions on which Lee frost gel to go for. I need to light a fashion show in September with no budget and in a marquee that is more than likely not going to offer any hanging points. Therefore I will need to use my Par56 300W T-bars along the sides of the catwalk and a couple of Par64 1KW wides at the end to provide a front fill. My worry is that there will be very little opportunity to get them high and I need to soften the potential blinding effects on the punters/models without taking too much power out of the Par beams, especially the 56s. Looking through my Lee swatch book, 216, 404, 414 and 413 seem likely contenders - any advice you might have on these or others would be greatly appreciated.

paulears Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Putting diffuser in front of a par turns it into a soft source - but the actual front is sometimes even brighter to those off axis. A par is really squinty when you can see the lamp, but as you move off-axis it tones down nicely. Sticking the diffuser on the front means the front of the can, visible over a much wider range of angles, becomes the hotspot. You need height. If you don't have it, then the models and the audience are going to be unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
