"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.

"Nightmare":

This photo has a side wash of r385 (royal blue), and a back wash of r359 (medium violet). It also has some Rosco gobos coming from some *old* Rosco DHA rotators. This scene is a nightmare for the main character. I used the Rosco colors to create a dark, foreboding, spooky mood to draw the audience into that nightmare world.
