Drama 16 Stage Lighting

1) Fall Sunset in Vermont

Top Cyc Lights:

• R39, 50%

• 42 degree, backlight SR, R64.25%
• 48 degree, backlight SL, R20. 75%
• 42 degree, backlight SL, R20, 75%

The backdrop is lit to bring out the rich colors of a fall sunset. The people are lit from behind to show the fading sun’s last rays of warm amber coming from the Stage Left. And from stage right, a soft blue is coming in as the night skies begin to overtake the amber sun light.

2) Spring Sunrise in New England

Top cyc lights:

• R13, 24%
• R21, 25%
• R11, 25%
• R65, Full

Bottom Cyc lights:

• R11, 50%

Model Lighting:

• 56 degree, top side lighting, SR, No color 50%
• 48 degree, top side lighting, SR, No color 80%
• 2 56 degree, back side lighting, SR, R14, 50%
• 3 56 degree, back side lighting, SR, R14, 75%
• 3 56 degree, back side lighting, SL, R67, 50%

To recreate a rising New England sun I used  yellows and hints of red at the bottom of the cyc. On the top portion of cyc I used blues as the incoming sunlight lighting up the sky for the beginning of the day. To light my model I used a lot of side backlighting because the sun is still at a low point and behind her. I used ambers coming in from SR because that is where the sun is coming from. The SL side of my model is more in shadow as the main source of light is coming from SR.

3) Noon on a hot Summer day in Brazil

Top Cyc Lights:

• R65, Full
• R310, 50%

Bottom Cyc Lights:

• 75 degree, top lighting, No color, Center, 25%
• 48 degree, top side lighting, R13, SL, 50%
• 43 degree, top back lighting, R13 SL, 25%

I recreated noon on a hot summer day by using a light of bright colors. At noon the sun is at it’s highest point and casts the leas amount of shadow. My models are brightly lit with hints of blue and amber to show the reflecting light off of the ocean and sand. Also their shadows are underneath them which reflects the top lighting signifying the high sun.

• 37 degree, top side lighting, SL, R13 50%
• 2 bottom side lights, SL, No color, 25%

I recreated a Winter afternoon in Alaska by using a light of bright lights. The sun is reflecting off of a lot of snow and is reflecting and hitting the models from all around from low angles.

1)Fall Sunset in Vermont

In this scene, I recreated a fall sunset in Vermont. The warm hues of ambers, golds and reds created here are like the colors of the trees and of the sky.
