Lighting Observation #5

1.) March 4, 2025 – 8:34pm – Adams Playhouse

2.) The red and blue stage lights that create a white light on the actors, but separate again on the ground.

3.) As the actors sing out to the audience, they are illuminated by a brilliant white light. The light is soft and gentle as it washes over them, as if it were the moonlight that was actually shining on their faces. However, from the wings behind them, I can see that their shadows are not being lit up by this delicate, natural glow. Instead, it looks as though there are two of them displayed across the stage floor: a pinkish-red outline and a blue one. The sparkling effect of light from the night sky was actually created from two separate fixtures that were mixed together. The intricacies in the shadows also made the scene even prettier to look at, and it was a great example of the warm/cool 45 degree rule we learned about in class.
