Location: The grid in the Schaeffer Theater
Objective observation: The main light is the one in the process of being focused. It’s a singular circle of off-white light originating from the grid and landing in a circle on the floor of the Black Box and illuminating you, professor, standing right in the center. There is also a light on the opposite end of the catwalk, a lamp on the desk where the gels and gobos live, which is giving off a significantly yellow-er light with green undertones.
Subjective observation: The light has the drama and theatrics of a stage scene, even though it’s only the focus. However, seeing it from above makes it seem a lot more practical and less whimsical, particularly for the light in question which does not yet have a gel in it. It’s a spotlight with zero direction.
