I use 8 colour-changing lights to provide atmospheric, flattering lighting with different colour combinations giving a different look to each shot when desired.
The front light can be a warm white colour to bring out your skin tone, or a strong colour for a more stylised dramatic look.
The row of 6 floor-mounted lights provide a wall of colour behind you.
Finally there's a 'rim light' mounted above and behind you - this gives a strong highlight to the edges of your hair and body, giving three-dimensional depth to the footage.
Different combinations of these light sources provide a huge range of possibilities. Here are just a few examples:
Simple silhouette
Blue and amber background
Blue and magenta background
Blue and white silhouette
Circus-themed red and white background
Dramatic cyan and magenta lighting
