shaw_dave Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi I hope this is in the right placeI am planning the lighting for a touring production of "A Month of Sundays" by Bob Larbey. It requires a lit backdrop viewed through a window. I expect we will be using flats, and I plan to have a light behind these to light the backdrop. However I don't want it to be lit by the general stage lighting. Would a scrim across the window achieve this, i.e. not allowing stage lights through, but showing up backdrop when lights behind are up. Bear in mind we don't have much room behind the flats. Can anyone think of a better way to do it?Also where can I get some scrim/gauze?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
