The Democratic debates will be a major test for those tackling the issue of diversity ... in the lighting department.
The Dem debates have 5 non-white candidates and 5 women, which we're told can make the lighting way trickier.
Our sources say the lighting pros have to focus on getting it just right for the men and women of different skin tones when the TV shows a solo shot, but also must balance the lighting overall for"broad look" shots of multiple candidates. There are individual spotlights, but other lighting on the stage bleeds into the individual shots.
We're told the lighting folks will be ready to adjust on the fly during the debates with the goal being to make sure everyone is satisfied, but satisfying 20 presidential candidates may be an impossible order.
