Drama 16 Stage Lighting

I took this photo at a vineyard during the Spring. I really loved the way the light was shining from behind the leaves and grapes, adding shadows and highlights to the plant depending on the density of where the sun is shining.

03/08:

The glass roof of the AMC building next to Target.

At sunset the orange and subtle purple light reflecting off of the glass decor made the building almost look like it was on fire. It was really cool to see it at a distance in contrast with the plain white building and the big red AMC letters just below it. I almost wish the building was that color normally and not just at sunset.

3/9, 8:30 pm, ACDA adjudicated concert during a piece

Objective description: There is faint amber side lighting coming from the middle side lights, and the cyc is a vibrant green color. There is little to no front lighting, so what you mainly see is the dancers’ shadows reflecting onto the bright green cyc.

Subjective description: The shadows of the dancers has a sharp contrast to the color of the cyc behind it which immediately catches my eye and draws me into the dance. The green and brown costumes and green lighting give the dance a forest, earth-like energy. As the side lights are added, we begin to see more of the dancers’ bodies, and it is very cool to see the way the lighting bounces off of the flowy costumes.

Science Innovation Center  – 3:34 PM

Objective: There are lots of white overhead lights lighting up the grey and silver walls. Everything in the room looks science-y and new, and the lights show off the technology clearly. It looks just like hospital lighting.

Subjective: The bright lights and silver walls make the room look futuristic. It makes me feel like the technology in the science innovation center is going to come to life like a robot sci-fi film.

Location: Film Set, East Hampton, Saturday Mar 9, 2024 6:00PM

Objective: Light reflects off of a Full CTB Gel clipped onto an HMI Fresnel and bounces onto the underside of an awning. I use this opportunity to demonstrate what we spoke about in class on how gels reflect to the rest of the lighting department.

Subjective: From a cold metal beast, rays escape and cascade towards the sky. A soft blue glow. The ocean lives under this roof for a night.

3/7 Lighting Observation

Objective: I was driving down a long, sun-lit road in Garden City. The pavement was lit by the sun, but covered in shadows from moving cars and the surrounding trees on either side of the road.

Subjective: The country music blaring in my car mixed with the bright sunshine created a music video-like scene in my mind. As I was driving, I pictured such a music video with myself in the car, (but probably a convertible), and the sunlight just shining down on me and my car, creating a vibrant and happy scene that was totally Hollywood.

03/06/2024 – 12:40 am – 9th floor, Enterprise Tower

Objective: View from the 9th-floor window of the eerie nightlife outside.

Subjective: Most of the individual lights from the neighboring tower’s windows are turned off, with only the street lamps down below lighting up the surrounding area. The rain slowly decreases and creates this haze around the street lamps, creating a more darker and eerie tone to the night life around campus.

This is an image I got off of the internet; it felt bizarre because you can see each strand of lightning in the image. I also like the color of the lightning as well.

3/6 8:15pm, Outside Emily Lowe

Objective:

the bright light sconce outside the front door reflect the puddles on the steps and the falling rain outside.

Subjective:

the nightly fall of light breaks away from its shadows as the white light shines off the flooded concrete and falling droplets glimmer like speckles of falling stars from the sky that could never be shown against the dark clouds above. The air is crisp with the chill of soft pattering rain. The sight that would cause the normal passerby to sigh with frustration at the damp annoyance, made me smile with each cool drip against my jacket. Like my worries were washed away into the puddles below, left behind as I splashed them with my boots.

Bizzare

I took this photo at an art exhibit in NYC in 2021. It was bizarre to me because of the way the projections created an immersive experience for the art being displayed. There were a lot of illusions that made the viewer forget that they were inside of a box-like room with projectors.
