the idea today was to explore two rimlights, each with an opposing color gel. i kinda touched on this idea a while back, but i haven't explored it fully yet, i don't think. the basic idea is to have a daylight balanced (color-neutral) main light illuminating the subject, and then have a cross light at the same time, with one rim light having a warm cast (cto) and one having a cool cast (a window green gel). my thinking is that this will put a subtle bit of color tension onto the subject, and provide an extra layer of interest.
so that's what i did. i think there is untapped potential here. maybe doubling or tripling the cto / w-green on the rimlight will increase the level of intensity.... or maybe i need less "overlapping" between the rimlights and the color-neutral main. maybe i don't even need the neutral main light.
anyways. all ideas. i'm going to have to revisit this one and see what else i can come up with.

i know i put "ctb" in that picture, but i actually think i used a green gel on the rimlight @ camera right. sorry.
