I used dish washing liquid with some glycerin added (~10:1) as my medium.
Shot with a 180mm macro, lighting was a 18 X 18 inch soft box with a strobe attached.
Light was set abut 15 inches above the soap film.
Soap film was in a wire loop ~3 inches in diameter set about 30 degrees to the light source.
It took some experimenting to get the angle right to see the colors in the soap film.
