Lighting Observation

In the Black Box
2) There was a light on that hit the black wall, creating a creamy circle.
3) I saw this light during a break from the first rehearsal and saw how much it looked like the moon. If you took away the mezzanine level of the NAB and focused on the dark wall and the light on the wall, it looked so much like the sky. One of the things I miss about home is the lack of light pollution. At home, unless it’s cloudy, the sky is always dark and clear. Having gone home for this past weekend, I suddenly got a pang of nostalgia for my hometown.
Also, I noted that during rehearsal when I stopped paying attention to it, yet still saw it out of the corner of my eye, it appeared to be breathing and growing in size. I thought that could be a very interesting thing to use in a lighting design, the concept of a light having life, but only when you’re not paying full attention to it.
