Designer described set as a dingy warehouse basement that has been taken over and filled for this podcast.  I've always used Rosco paints so when I took over this position, I slowly built our inventory of Rosco paints (ie- Off-Broadway and Super Sats)  I find they blend well together and offer a wide variety of colors to be mixed.  They are also versatile for our uses here in the shop (ie- faux finishes, spraying).

Off-Broadway Paints used: Fire Red, Orange, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Van Dyke Brown

We use Rosco because of the quality of paint and consistency of colour and pigmentation. I used mainly Rosco Supersaturated on this drop to maximize the amount of colour with the minimal amount of product. Rosco Off Broadway was used to help give robustness to the dark stripes and the lettering/detail.

"Time of your Life":

These photos have front and side washes of r39 (skelton exotic sangria), and a back wash of r313 (light relief yellow). This is the opening of a scene in a toy store with a song that talks about what fun really is. It also comes right after a song about sadness and loneliness. I wanted to pull the audience out of that in a strong way and set the mood for the fun and games to come. As always, r39 fit that role perfectly, and r313 gave a nice contrast.

the Lighting describes the mood, time of day, and time of year. The cold blues set us in winter. The sunrise offers a stark difference in time of day, and helps to put the city and season into perspective agains the cold blue london sky

R07 in a PAR worked really well in the first photo to simulate a single lightbulb in a closet. The R48 and R337 highlights were really nice to create a magical, surreal feeling in the scenes that called for it, like in the second picture. A combination of R58 and R25, well as less saturated R356 and R317 respectively, worked really nicely for a back and side light combo. The second picture shows some of these mixed together and the third picture shows how nice and deep R58 + R25 were able to mix as heavy backlight during a scene where these characters were not the focus of attention.

The show took place inside the main characters brain. The show was a one woman show supported by dancers. I used the lights to convey her emotions; greif, anger, happiness, disgust etc. The story also took us deep inside caves, to a dinner party she hated, to stargazing over a city.

A forbidden show, Play On! aims to create an intimate relationship with the audience. Along with the use of street clothes, and natural lighting, the sense of any barrier between viewer and performer is taken away. This was achieved in part by the natural amber wash created by Rosco filters.

These photos are from the premiere of a new children's production called The Book of Ashes. All gels and gobos used are Rosco. We chose to use Rosco to convey the intense emotions using saturated colors as well as the dusty gold feel of Iraq. The break up gobos added texture to the air and helped define the environment.
