Lighting:

front, high side and back light on your cello area; focused high enough to cover you when you stood but staying off screen so image not washed out
3 looks:

• 1) brighter, saturation - to highlight you when you were playing without image
• 2) dimmer look to not distract the eye from the image
• 3) added front light for when you stood up to talk
