The Video Campfire
consists of the following elements to be provided by the hosting organization:

-
VHS VCR (for the Campfire Flames)
-
Tree stump or campfire stool for the performer to sit on

The performer
rarely crosses the stage so either front or rear projection is ok.

A single key
spotlight focused on performer (stage left of screen) but shuttered
from screen with a warm amber gel. Additional lighting is welcome such
as a fill light and a top backlight (cool gel). Ellipsoidal lights are
