Figure 39 - If we locate our fill lights on either side of the subject at a 90 degree angle to the key light and a 45 degree angle above the horizon, we end up with a row of fill lights parallel to the lip of the platform, one for each row of acting areas.

In a television studio or a theatre there might be a pipe grid to accommodate a hang like this, but in a sanctuary we have to be more concerned about lines of sight and aesthetic appearance. Consequently, we often have to compromise our hanging positions to suit the needs of the congregation. We can modify the lighting plot to accommodate a simplified rigging system by consolidating our lighting positions and reduce the number of rows of truss. By moving all of the key lights on the second FOH truss (closer to the platform) to the first FOH truss (farther from the platform) and moving all of the backlights on the upstage truss (the top truss in this plot) to the next closest truss, we can reduce our truss count from six to four, as shown in the figure below.
