The setup is unwieldy, difficult to cart around, a pain in the rear to set up and requires sending assistants off to locate bricks or gallon jugs of fruit juice to counterweight, but the light is sharp and feathers beautifully. If I had a more weather-sealed permanant studio it might leave this sort of thing set up, because I really like the results, but I sure hate getting it out of the closet and putting the pieces together. "No Exit" itself is a stark play where people's facades are broken down and the root of their imperfections revealed, so it seemed good to use a light that would be more cruel than kind, accentuating facial lines & eye shadows. Perhaps we shall see some of your March 19th for the opening. Party afterwards. Fo shizzle. http://www.kylecassidy.com/lj/2010/curio-small-poster5a.jpg
