Backstage at a Sting concert

[David Desio]

Hey all, I have a shoot next week which has a scene that takes place backstage at a Sting concert. This will be done in studio and I will be using the back of a hard set as one of the walls, the studio walls will be the other two. What is hapeneing is an assistant to Sting is sitting at a computer talking into his webcam.

 

I want it to be dark and atmospheric so here's what I plan to do so far:

 

I have some spinning colored lights that will play in the BG from the direction of the "stage".

 

I'll light the actor with a 2ft 4bank kino with daylight bulbs to simulate the light from the computer screen.

 

Rake a 2k fresnel across the set wall

 

Edge the actor with a 650 tungsten fresnel.

 

Maybe hang a china ball over his head to light up the table that he's sitting at.

 

Fill the stage with smoke.

 

Any one have any other suggestions or additions?
