Gaffer Jason Penzak tapes multiple Titan Tubes together at the middle to create a soft, non-edge light source that adds depth to stage lighting. He uses flare to hide imperfections and adds subtle fog and texture to enrich the visual.
Hey, this is Stewart. Here's a little lighting tip from gaffer Jason Penzak. Why don't you talk about how you attack this?
The flare is the name of the game for this. It hides, it hides so much. A little bit of fog, a little bit of texture in there. The one thing I really like to do when you have a stage is to add some kind of fun light to it that is not just like an edge. So my, one of my tricks is you take a bunch of Titan Tubes and you tape the middle. I actually kind of surprised how good they did come out. You know what, now that you say that, you're right.
You're absolutely right. I do see the seam, but they look so good there.
