My lighting key changed slightly. I added a blue front wash to give the effect of the blue background and I added a red front corner light to brighten up the image a bit.

Center top light at full CT Blue (L201)

High outer center front light (from side view) at 75% R26

High outer center back top light (from side view) at 50% R26

High upstage left upper corner light at 50% R26

Mid side light second from the top at full R80

back light from mid side light at full no gel

Reese’s ‘Not Sorry’ Ad

The lights I used were:

Top stage right back corner light @ full R398

Top stage right front corner light @ full R398

I thought the sphere would best replicate how the Reese’s looked in the ad, I also updated my lighting key because when doing the assignment I found that to get the full effect of the shadow I needed a little more than one light coming in than I originally had thought

Sometimes lighter is better ad

The lights I used were:

Left middle: bottom, top, middle, and the one between middle and the bottom (all at 75%, gel: ap2000)

Right middle: middle (75% Ap2000)

 

if i redid this I think I should’ve used 6300 K to make it whiter

  1. A dairy queen commercial that aired in 2016 – found on google
  2. Theme: Advertisement/Desire
  3. To recreate the lighting in the advertisement I chose, I used four side lights at full and 26 degrees. I also used a front light at full and 70 degrees. I used full CT blue for all lights. I decided to put the ambient light and beam intensity on high to recreate the bright background of the advertisement. I reflected this change in my lighting key.

Lighting Observation #9

  1. March 29, 2025; 8:37pm; Coffeehouse in the Spiegel
  2. Stage lights
  3. While at coffeehouse, I was sitting on the Spiegel stage with 2 of my friends, Audrey and Mallory, with my face looking towards the audience seating. While someone was performing, I looked around and noticed that my from sitting in front of me covered most of the light shining on to us. This left them in full color and shining. All the lights were on so they weren’t in shadows. Their hair was even shining!

  1. A photo from Pinterest, Advertisement for Marlboro
  2. Advertisment
  3. This picture caught my attention because not only does the lighting make the actor look good but also makes it simple and straight to the point of what they are advertising. The photo itself has the orange toned lighting coming in from the top left corner to help create the shadow behind her. The editing of the cigarettes in the bottom left corner to give it the appearance that the cigarettes are the main point of the drawing. Originally, I only had one light but then I added 3 more once I was in the program. I used the G R21 twice, G R11 and G R15 once.

Advertisement/Desire lighting recreation in light lab

I had a very hard time trying to recreate this picture in the light lab, due to the fact that, for some reason, I couldn’t find other objects and I couldn’t move the sphere or pyramid to line up where the cup and bottle were in the picture. It was also difficult for me, since the person is not see through, so I tried to recreate the shadows instead. I used three lights, all on the back left side (stage right), one in the top corner, one directly underneath it, and one at about the shoulder height of the person. one of lights has a Rosco Roscolux R055 Lilac gel, just so it appears more like sunlight. The other two lights have L201 Full CT Blue gels in them, since the sunlight in the picture is very cool.

Lighting Observation #8

1. 4/4/2025, Blackbox dressing room

2. The lights on the mirrors in the dressing room.

3. The lights in this room are very yellow, they’re almost orange. I am not a fan of them as they expose a lot of my imperfections in my face. It’s like this light highlights the acne and scars on my face which I hate. They are meant to make the costumes look better but since I am not wearing makeup it makes me look worse! I often find myself turning the light off as it irritates me.
