Fall Sunset
Backdrop lit with:
– G220, 32% intensity from above
– R385, 50% intensity from above
– G845, full intensity from above
– R11, 90% intensity from below
Model lit with:
-G250, 50% intensity, 12 feet above the deck, 12 feet SR from model, 16 feet down stage of model, 21 foot throw, 17 degree elevation angle, 37 degree side angle.
-G460, 50% intensity, 1 foot above deck, 12 feet SR of model, 8 feet downstage of model, 15 food throw, -19 degree elevation angle, 56 degree side angle
-P4200, 50% intensity, 10 feet above deck, 6 feet SL of model, 16 feet downstage of model, 18 foot throw, 13 degree elevation angle, 21 degree side angle
-G780, 25% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 12 feet SL of model, 16 feet downstage of model, 23 food throw, 29 degree elevation angle, 37 degree side angle
-G840. 50% intensity, 1 foot above deck, 12 feet SL of model, 8 feet downstage of model, 15 foot throw, -19 degree elevation angle, 56 degree side angle
I used a lot of rich tones to demonstrate the fall sunset. I wanted to have a cool feeling without it being cold, but also use warm colors without it seeming too summery. The light all comes from one side to show that the sun is low in the sky.
Easter Sunrise
Backdrop lit with:
– G790, full intensity from above
– No color, 50% intensity from below
– AP8730, 75% intensity from below
Model Lit with:
– G450, 34% intensity, 17 feet above deck, centered on model, 16 feet downstage of model, 19 foot throw, 35 degree elevation angle, direct back light
– L110, 50% intensity, 10 feet above deck, centered on model, 16 feet downstage of model, 16 foot throw, 14 degree elevation angle, direct back light
I wanted to show the pure fresh light that you see during a sunrise in early spring. To capture the feeling of being in a cathedral I used light that came from the front as if Lucy was looking through a cathedral window.
Caribbean Noon
Backdrop lit with:
-R377, full intensity from above
– R66, full intensity from below
Model lit with:
– L790, 34% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 9 feet SR of model, 8 feet downstage of model, 16 foot throw, 42 degree elevation angle, 48 degree side angle
– R96, 7% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 3 feet SR of model, 16 feet downstage of model, 20 foot throw, 34 degree elevation angle, 11 degree side angle
– R07, 85% intensity, 17 feet above deck, centered on model, 16 feet downstage of model, 19 foot throw, 35 degree elevation angle, direct back light
– R06, 7% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 3 feet SL of model, 16 feet downstage of model, 20 foot throw 34 degree elevation angle, 11 degree side angle
– L774, 34% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 9 feet SL of model, 8 feet downstage of model, 16 foot throw, 42 degree elevation angle, 48 degree side angle
The bright blue color of the backdrop was very important to display the color of a Caribbean sky. I tried to light from above to show that it was noon, and I used warm toned colors to remind you of a hot summer day.
Winter Afternoon
Backdrop lit with:
– G888, 75% intensity from above
– AP3200, 25% intensity from above
– G1514, full intensity from below
Model lit with:
– G980, 25% intensity, 0 feet above deck, centered on model, 8 feet downstage of model, 10 foot throw, 37 degree elevation angle, direct back light
– NC, 25% intensity, 6 feet above deck, 12 feet SR of model, direct sidelight, 12 foot throw, 0 degree elevation angle
– AP2020, 25% intensity, 12 feet above deck, 12 feet SR of model, 16 foot throw, 23 degree elevation angle, 56 degree back angle
– AP2090, 50% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 12 feet SR of model, direct sidelight, 16 foot throw, 43 degree elevation angle
– G920, 75% intensity, 17 feet above deck, 6 feet SR of model, 8 feet downstage of model, 15 foot throw, 48 degree elevation angle, 37 degree side angle
I wanted to capture the brisk coldness you feel in the air before a snowfall by using various shades of purple and grey. I chose to light to the side to give the impression that it was mid afternoon and it would be snowing through the night.
