Ahhh... I see. Well, both silver or blue would keep the atmosphere light. Btw, have you thought perhaps doing the mask in flesh tone with heavily exaggerated shadows? There are lots of angles on the face so that would be easy ( doing the chiaro-scuro thing).
Btw, I really like the idea of the remote control tip jar! LOL!
Hey let me know when you put on your show so I can come and lend support/encouragement.
