West Side Story - Stage colour

Bit late to the party, but I've had problems in the past with two specific floor colours - both on panto.

The first was Aladdin where the floor somewhat resembled a Nurofen packet - yellow centre gradiating through orange to red at the outside...

This wasn't an easy set to light (the side flats were mainly red base as well) as I got a HUGE amount of very warm bounce especially in the mid stage areas. Apparently the video guy loved it though!!

 

However the worst stage clour EVER I've lit was purple.

Doesn't look so bad here, but with the maroon-ish walls and side flats it was a bugger. I pleaded with the designer to abandon the idea of a purple floor but got nowhere :(

And when it came to programming, I found that almost anything I threw at it came up.... purple - or a different shade of purple... or a lighter shade of purple.

HATED it, I have to say.

I like how the stance of the technician in the second photo (no doubt mid problem-solving) somewhat mirrors the dame in the first.

:D I'd probably say more likely Matt is pondering the choice of 'Tea or coffee...'!!

:D :D
