Light Observation 9

Posted on April 9, 2018 by previousstudent

1.) Pond outside my home in Uniondale NY. April 7 2018, 6:50pm.

2.) The sun was soon approaching sun set. The the suns light was reflecting in the pond in a strait thick line pointing towards my window. The light was bright light amber and it glistened. The surrounding water was glistening as well but had a darker tone.

3.) The moment reminded me of something from animal planet. I could almost Morgan Freeman’s voice over playing as the camera shows the shot of the pond and then cuts to a follow shot of the local geese flying through the sky.

1) April 4, sunset, my room

2) Outside my window, there is a parking lot, and past that, as the sun was setting, it silhouetted trees painting it in a beautiful gradient from blue to orange.

3) The sunset was breathtaking in the number of hues and gradient across the sky.  While the sunset was beautiful, the silhouette of the trees and the almost lacy nature of branches against the blue and orange hues and the gradient between the two gave the trees an even prettier and more delicate look.

Lighting Observation #9

Posted on April 5, 2018 by previousstudent
  1. April 5, 2018 – 8:45pm – Adams Playhouse
  2. I am sitting in the audience watching the Danceworks show. As the dancers are running, a white strobe light flashes. The dancers look as if they are freezing and moving constantly.
  3. It was interesting because by the light turning on and off, it made the dancers float across the stage. It made me feel like I was watching a movie that kept playing and pausing over and over again.

This picture represents a fall sunset in Vermont because when I thought about fall, I think of orange colors as well as brighter light closer to the ground.

Spring Sunrise in Gothic Cathedral

Light from a sunrise is not quite viewed from the inside of a cathedral as much as it is viewed from the outside. This lighting was based on an image from a sunrise next to a cathedral in Milan. The sky is still partially dark but the sun’s rays begin to take over as it ascends.

Models:

  • LHT721 (75%) 51 degree elevation angle, 17 ft above deck, 9 ft stage right, direct sidelight, 14 ft throw
  • AP4680 (full) 42 degree elevation angle, 48 degree back angle, 17 ft above deck, 9 ft stage right, 8 ft upstage, 16 ft throw

  • AP3450 (full) 54 degree elevation angle, direct backlight, 17 ft above deck, centered, 8 ft upstage, 14 ft throw

Noon on a Summer Day in Hawaii

Summer in such a tropical climate tends to get incredibly hot, especially at noon, when the light is almost directly overhead. This lighting is based on an image of a typical sunny day on a Hawaiian beach.

Models:

  • AP3350 (75%) 43 degree elevation angle, 17 ft above deck, 12 ft stage right, direct sidelight, 16 ft throw
  • AP1950 (75%) 48 degree elevation angle, 37 degree side angle, 17 ft above deck, 6 ft stage right, 8 ft downstage, 15 ft throw
  • AP5800 (75%) 61 degree elevation angle, 17 ft above deck, 6 ft stage right, direct sidelight, 13 ft throw
  • AP4270 (75%) 54 degree elevation angle, direct backlight, 17 ft above deck, centered, 8 ft downstage, 14 ft throw

Winter Afternoon in North Dakota

Naturally, winter often brings a lot of snow, which usually reflects light from the sky. This lighting was based on an image of snow-covered trees and hills, with glimpses of color in between the branches.

Models:

For this stage picture I used an image I found of a literal sunset in Vermont for inspiration. The models are facing the general direction of the sun while their opposite sides are left to the darkness.

Models:

  • R3202 48° Elevation Angle, 38° Back Angle / 17ft Above / 6ft Stage Right / 8ft Upstage
  • AP2190 51° Elevation Angle / 17ft Above / 9th Stage Left / Direct Sidelight
  • Ap2100 43° Elevation Angle / 17tf Above / 12ft Stage Left / Direct Sidelight

The lighting inside a cathedral isn’t very bright except when the light shines through the windows. This was my inspiration for the scene and the backdrop. The lighting on the tops represents the morning sun rays coming through the stain-glass windows.

Backdrop:

  • Top Row: AP3350/G345  Bottom Row: AP3520

Models:

  • RE190 43° Elevation Angle / 17ft Above / 12ft Stage Right / Direct Sidelight
  • RE190 48° Elevation Angle, 37° Side Angle / 17ft Above / 6ft Stage Left / 8ft Downstage

The inspiration for this lighting came from the beaches of Hawaii. The lighting on the bottom row of the backdrop represents the sand of the beach. There’s also a subtle blue on stage right to represent the refection of water. The sphere is a giant beachball for Lucy play with on her vacation.

Backdrop:

  • Top Row: Ap2000  Bottom Row: R3405

Models:

  • NC 23° Elevation Angle, 56° Side Angle / 12ft Above / 12ft Stage Right / 8ft Downstage
  • G510 32° Elevation Angle , 56° Side Angle / 6ft Above / 12ft Stage Right/ 8ft Downstage
  • G410 90° Elevation Angle / 17ft Above / Centered /Direct Downlight
  • G740 -19° Elevation Angle, 56° Backlight / 1ft above / 12ft Stage Left / 8ft Upstage

My inspiration for this scene came from images of a nearly pink sky contrasting the ground covered in a layer of snow. I tried imtating the reflection of light snow gives in daylight also.

Backdrop:

  • Top Row: L162  Bottom Row: G790

Models:

  • AP2040 37° Elevation Angle, 56° Side Angle / 17ft Above / 12ft Stage Right / 8ft Downstage / 42% Level
  • AP2040 54° Elevation Angle (Direct Back Light) / 17ft Above / Centered / 8ft Downstage
  • L013 27° Elevation Angle / 12ft Above / 12ft Stage Left / Direct Sidelight
  • NC -19° Elevation Angle, 56° Side Angle / 1ft Above / 12ft Stage Left / 8ft Downstage
