Drama 16 Stage Lighting

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.

Cyc Lights Top Light  AP 2190 50%, AP6800 50%, AP2180 50% Bottom Light AP 2180 50%, AP1800 25%, AP7600 50%, AP8350 50%                                                                                                                Model Lighting AP7600 (2)(50% 0 degrees SR and SL side light), AP4300 (2)(Full 20 degrees SR and SL side light), AP2280 (25% direct center foot light), AP1800 (2)(50% 45 degrees SR and SL top light), AP5960 (2)(full 60 degrees SR and SL top light), AP5960 (2)(60 degrees SR and SL front light)

2)Spring Sunrise in New England

This scene shows a typical New England spring morning. It has deep blues which give a cold, morning chill to the picture, but warm yellows in the background, rising with the sun to burn away the morning mist.

Cyc Lights: Top Light AP4630 75%, AP6800 50%, AP6900 25%, AP3520 25% Bottom Light AP4630 50%, AP 6140 50%, AP4100 full   Model Lighting:  AP4850 (50% SR 30 degrees side light), AP4250 (75% SR 30 degrees side light), AP4250 (25% SR 20 degrees side light), AP4270 (50% SR 20 degrees side light), AP4100 (50% SR 45 degrees top light (2)), AP4350 (25%, direct top light), AP6400 (50% SL 50 degrees top light (3)), R3407 (50% SL 45 degrees top light), R3443 (50%  50 degrees SL top light), AP4630 (50% 30 degrees SL side light), AP4100 (50% 30 degrees SL side light)

3) Noon on a hot Brazilian Day

This picture shows a steamy Brazilian jungle. At high noon, the light would be filtering through the leaves, looking green and yellow and textured.

Cyc Lights: Top Light AP7770 full, AP6800 50%, AP4950 full Bottom Light AP 8250 50%, AP5600 50%, R39 50%, AP2190 50%             Model Lighting: AP 7800 (full 10 degrees SR side light), AP5800 (50% 45 degrees SR side light), AP5940 (50% 5o degrees SR top light), (AP 7800 (full direct top light), AP7150 (full 60 degrees front light with texture template), AP7350 (full 60 degrees SL front light with texture template), AP5500 (full 50 degrees SL side light), AP7350 (50% 30 degrees SL side light), AP5940 (50% 10 degrees SL side light)

4)Winter Afternoon in Alaska

This scene depicts a cold, wintry afternoon in Alaska. I tried to recreate the harsh lighting that would be reflecting off of the snow and the cold darkness that would be setting in.

Cyc Lights: Top Light AP3400 50%, AP2080 full, AP2240 50%, Bottom Light AP4720 50%, AP3300 75%, AP4600 25%                  Model Lighting: AP4800 (50% 20 degrees SR side light), AP3350 (75% 50 degrees SR side light), AP8600 (25% 60 degrees SR front light), AP2080 (50% 50 degrees direct front light), AP2080 (full 45 degrees direct front light), AP4750 (25% 60 degrees SL front light), AP3350 (75% 50 degrees SL side light), AP4800 (50% 20 degrees SL side light)

1. Outside Spiegel theater, Wednesday 4/9/14, 11:24

2. Objective description: A sunny day

3. Subjective description: The sun was almost at its highest point of the day. There were lovely shadows created by the trees that gave the sidewalk an excellent texture. I distinctly remember thinking that one shadow of a tree would make a perfect gobo.

3. Bete Noir

4. An empty alleyway at night is something that I’m sure everyone hates. When looking at this photo it makes me kind of edgy because I feel the need to look around and make sure that no one is hiding and waiting to mug me. Also the sickly amber light is not helping at all. It’s coming from high angles and is reflecting off of what seems to be the wet pavement.

3. Bête Noire

4. A sunrise is one of the most spectacular things a person can lay eyes on. However, as I’m waking up this is the last thing I want to see. As my eyes got adjusted to the pitch blackness from sleeping, I become startled when a radiant beam of yellow and white blind me with a great ray of intensity. As it peeks out the window it fills my room with blaring reds, oranges, yellows and whites that tells me it’s time to wake up. Ironically enough, this beautiful spectacle of light is something I could never look forward to seeing.

1) My dorm room, 8:25 AM, Thursday April 10th, 2014

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Light was streaming through the blinds on the windows.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was lying on the floor, about to do the morning crunches that Anna Watts told me would benefit my health. Still groggy, I looked up. What was before me was a square of crystals plastered on my wall. The fresh morning sun pulsated against my window, which were still covered by the blinds. The slit in the blinds, however, mixed with the branches from the trees outside, created a gobo of fantastical qualities. Each panel held a sparkling, bright diamond of light. I finished my crunches, and went outside to explore this new day before me.

3) Bete Noire

4) What kinds of implications come with a sewer? Cold, wet, slimy, dark. The thought of being stuck underground in one of these creates a feeling of uncomfortableness in me. This image beautifully describes what I find as bete noire. The lighting in this image is especially unsettling, as the harsh fluorescents illuminate the green slime and filth on the wall. There is also a hint of unfeeling yellows and browns that make the stomach churn. The fact that the fluorescents illuminate the tunnel in its entirety, stretching for what seems forever, especially highlights the feeling of grossness in this image.

1. 4/7/14 at around 7:00 at Take-One Theatres.

2. A big spectacle of colored spotlights on a stage moving to a beat.

3. In the musical “West Side Story” the big show stopper is the song and dance number “Mambo”. It should always be done big. In my production, almost every dancer gets their own large, shining spotlight each with a color coordinating with their pose and costume. The first spotlight hits a dancer with a saturated red, emphasizing her intense movements. A light, pale blue spotlight shines on an other couple as they dance slowly and seductively. Behind them is a dancer using big and open dance moves as a sharp, green light shines down on him. It is these precise lights that make the dance number look amazing.

1) April 10th @ 6pm

2) Blue Sky

3) That’s it, there is no fancy explanation to my lighting moment this week, it was just a beautiful intense blue sky and it’s simplicity is what makes it so special. Like a good old friend you haven’t seen in a while and you haven’t realized how much you missed him until you saw him again. God, I love spring!!

3) Bête Noire

4) Bête noire represents something that is dislike by people, that’s why I chose smoke. Smoke is something that causes fear to most people, it is associated with feeling of fire and suffocation. Although the theme of this picture is something so toxic I still think it is absolutely beautiful.

1. April 8th, 4:30pm

2. I was walking home from physics and it was sunny. I actually had to squint.

3. I don’t know if the light was so beautiful because it feels like forever since there has been direct sunlight, or if it was because I was out of physics class, or if the sun was really just that lovely. It was euphoric. Everything about my surroundings emanated joy. The sun was bright and yellow- enough to make you squint but not quite bright enough that you needed sunglasses. It was the perfect light. Everything was clear and looked just that much happier basking in the glow of the miracle that is the world.
