controling flares

[Moshe Mishali]

hello

 

i'm shooting a music video and most of it is a band singing on a stage in a dark night club.

i want to make a few of the close up's colurful with some unfocused flare dots and other shapes in the forground, i have never done this before so i have a few questions:

1. what kind of filters (or mabye behind the lens nets) can help me control the shape and size of the flares.

2. what kind of light would be best to use for flares (i thought of using 1K par 64 or 100w pin spots).

3. can i get flare dots without seeing the projector itself.

 

i will be doing some tests in the next few weeks and i would like to hear any suggestions.

 

thanks
