![]() Most times I end up with a mixture of vertical uplights and angled uplights. I typically try a few different uplight setups with each set to find which one works best. Angling your uplights across your set can also create great dimension and shadows. Moving them out from the wall will have the opposite effect and allow you to use less fixtures for the same amount of surface. The closer you move an uplight to the surface, the more narrow the column of light will be and the deeper the shadows on dimensional sets will be.

Uplighting typically takes few fixtures, little setup, and creates an immersive atmosphere. It’s very common for events to setup uplights within their room to help transform it into their desired atmosphere.
