- A Fall Sunset in New England
- What I wanted to create was a fall sunset by the water in New England. This means that I really wanted to play with soft colors to indicate the sun setting but also the fact that fall is warm and comforting. The cyc is at full with L192 gels. The “sun” is gel R015 with a 19 degree and soft focus. Then the 2 other instruments to help create the fade out of the sunset were a red tinted gel of R26, degree 36 with a soft focus and a pink colored gel of L328, degree 70 with a soft focus. That was my sunset that faded could into the night time sky. I added 3 more lights to help great the feeling of the overall mood of the set. This allowed me to still be able to fully light my actor without worrying about if it would take away from the feeling of a sunset. These lighting instruments were all at 50% brightness with a mix of 1 R21 gel filled instrument and 2 R018 filled gels. All 3 instruments have a soft focus with a 70% output.
- Spring Sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral
- The mood should be a relaxed, unknown vibe. The feeling of the sun shining through a window while the rest of the Cathedral is still sleeping. I used the cyc to help create mood by using the gel R68 at 75% fullness. I then added a singular light to create the sun starting to come into the Cathedral. I used a light purple, almost white gel (R54) to create the start of the sun coming through a window. I then used two more lighting instruments, one on each side, to accomplish lighting up the whole actor and also continuing to help with the mood of the set. Both had the R78 gel in them at 75% fullness with a soft focus at 70 degrees.
- Noon on a Hot Summer Day in the Caribbean
- I created a mood of a hot, sweat mess. Something where there was no almost no life to the lights but still indicated that everything was warm and hot. I used 7 lights. The sun was in the top SL corner with a yellow gel of R313, soft focus, and a full brightness with 36 degrees. To create the rest of the feeling, I used all warm colored gels (red and orange). My cyc was a bright orange of R21 at full. Lights 1 and 2 were filled with a red gel of R25, full brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree. This helped bring out a lot more red of what I think the Caribbean is. Lights 3 and 4 were filled with a reddish orange gel of R40, full brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree. My last two lights were an orange gel of R21, full brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree angle.
- Winter afternoon in Canada
- When I think of Canada, I think of a nice, snowy day that’s filled with different types of white and blue lights. I used 8 lights to create an overall icy white tone. My cyc was a strong blue of R67 at 75% brightness. Lights 1 and 2 were filled with an almost icy blue gel of R70, 85% brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree. This helped fill the majority of the stage. Then to give it more dimension and vibes, I added 3 more lights to each side. Lights 3 and 4 were filled with a darker blue gel of R68, 85% brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree. Lights 5 and 7 were filled with a medium blue gel of R361, 85% brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree. Finally, my last two lights (6 and 8) were a lighter blue of R64, 85% brightness, soft focus, and 70 degree angle.
