Fall Sunset in Vermont

Back Drop:

Top: Gel AP1800 at  75%, Gel 7550 at 50%     Bottom: Gel AP 6800 at 50%, Gel Red at 25%     Image: Fall trees

Hung:

2 lights 60 degree, back of house bar, Gel AP6800 with texture template at 25%

1 light 0 degree, back of house bar, Gel AP7600 at 50%

1 light SR foot light, Gel AP1800 at 50%

1 light SL foot light, Gel AP6800 at 20%

This feels like a fall sunset in Vermont because of the intense reds and burnt orange, in a lot of my research of sunsets in Vermont specifically I kept coming across these intense reds and oranges and really wanted to incorporate that in this design. Also, the distribution of color on the model is really interesting and the use of the texture makes in look like she’s really standing amidst the tress with sun coming at her at an angle.

Easter Morning in Gothic Cathedral

Back Drop:

Top: NC at Full       Bottom: Yellow at 25%    Image: Cathedral Interior

Hung:

2 lights about 30 degree, US R and L, Gel L162 at 25%

2 lights about 30 degree, direct C top light R and L, Gel L102 at 40%

2 lights about 80 degree, back of house far R and L, Gel L162 at 25%

With this one I really wanted a lot of angles and shadows because especially in Gothic cathedrals the windows, which would be the main source of light, are really high up. In a production with this I would likely use a hazer to bring out the individual rays of light.

Caribbean on a hot summer day

Back drop:

Top: NC at Full     Bottom NC at 75%     Image: Beach chairs and Palm trees

Hung:

1 light 30 degree horizontal and vertical SR, Gel AP6100 with template at Full

1 light 45 degree, first bar in house SR, Gel AP 1050 at 40%

1 light o degree horizontal, first bar in house, Gel AP6100 at 40%

1 light 45 degree, bar in back of house SL, Gel 1050 at 50%

I decided to place my model partially under a palm tree because noon in the Caribbean is blindingly bright, so this location would give me more variety in the light. I feel like this represents a hot summer day in the Caribbean because it’s a bright, warm light like you would see at this time without much shadowing because it’s noonday.

Winter just before the snow falls

Back Drop:

Top: NC at Full in Grey scale    Bottom: NC at 10% in Grey scale     Image: Bare Trees

Hung:

2 lights center wing/ offstage side lights top bar,  Gel AP2330 with template at 75%

2 lights 30 degree horizontal and vertical DS bar, Gel G785 at 30%

1 light Center Center top light, Gel G390 at Full

1 light bar at back of house center, Gel AP2330 at 40%

The first thing that came to mind when reading this description was bare trees and grey storm clouds, that kind of overcast, I want to snow but I won’t sort of day. So I used a lot of grey and blue tones to create that dark , dreary and cold atmosphere.
