Lighting Observation 3/8

Posted on March 11, 2024 by previousstudent

3/9, 8:30 pm, ACDA adjudicated concert during a piece

Objective description: There is faint amber side lighting coming from the middle side lights, and the cyc is a vibrant green color. There is little to no front lighting, so what you mainly see is the dancers’ shadows reflecting onto the bright green cyc.

Subjective description: The shadows of the dancers has a sharp contrast to the color of the cyc behind it which immediately catches my eye and draws me into the dance. The green and brown costumes and green lighting give the dance a forest, earth-like energy. As the side lights are added, we begin to see more of the dancers’ bodies, and it is very cool to see the way the lighting bounces off of the flowy costumes.

Science Innovation Center  – 3:34 PM

Objective: There are lots of white overhead lights lighting up the grey and silver walls. Everything in the room looks science-y and new, and the lights show off the technology clearly. It looks just like hospital lighting.

 

Subjective: The bright lights and silver walls make the room look futuristic. It makes me feel like the technology in the science innovation center is going to come to life like a robot sci-fi film.

Lighting Observation 3/8

Posted on March 9, 2024 by previousstudent

Location: Film Set, East Hampton, Saturday Mar 9, 2024 6:00PM

Objective: Light reflects off of a Full CTB Gel clipped onto an HMI Fresnel and bounces onto the underside of an awning. I use this opportunity to demonstrate what we spoke about in class on how gels reflect to the rest of the lighting department.

Subjective: From a cold metal beast, rays escape and cascade towards the sky. A soft blue glow. The ocean lives under this roof for a night.

3/7 Lighting Observation

3/7 Lighting Observation

Objective: I was driving down a long, sun-lit road in Garden City. The pavement was lit by the sun, but covered in shadows from moving cars and the surrounding trees on either side of the road.

Subjective: The country music blaring in my car mixed with the bright sunshine created a music video-like scene in my mind. As I was driving, I pictured such a music video with myself in the car, (but probably a convertible), and the sunlight just shining down on me and my car, creating a vibrant and happy scene that was totally Hollywood.

Lighting Observation – part five

Posted on March 7, 2024 by previousstudent

03/06/2024 – 12:40 am – 9th floor, Enterprise Tower

Objective: View from the 9th-floor window of the eerie nightlife outside.

Subjective: Most of the individual lights from the neighboring tower’s windows are turned off, with only the street lamps down below lighting up the surrounding area. The rain slowly decreases and creates this haze around the street lamps, creating a more darker and eerie tone to the night life around campus.

Photo Observation 3/7- Bizarre

For this post I chose to focus on how refraction and relfection can create entirely novel looks entirely different from any other methods of light manipulation. This is utterly fascinating as a basic, unedited photo, can look like a kaleidescope. This is something that, if given the time and materials, I would love to incorporate into a lighting design.

Bizarre

This is an image I got off of the internet; it felt bizarre because you can see each strand of lightning in the image. I also like the color of the lightning as well.

Photo Observation: Bizarre

Posted on March 7, 2024 by previousstudent

Source: Pinterest

I picked this image mainly because of the shadows being projected around the room and the chaotic feeling it creates. The casing on the light acts as a sort of 360 degree gobo. It also creates a kind of trippy effect with the way the shadows are sharper toward the center of the photo and get blurry toward the edges creating what seems to me like a kind of illusion of a magnified lens when it’s really just the spherical shape of the light source.

This photo was online, from an online website called girllikear.life. They are an online store selling gobos. For me, gobos really work well to create bizarre lighting, just because you can take something and make it look really unnatural and jarring. For example, the human is this photo looks offputting with the holes in the skin made from the gobo. Also the black and white color makes it seem even more dramatic and bizarre.

Photo Observation 3/7

Posted on March 6, 2024 by previousstudent

Picture taken by me

I took this picture inside of a pop-up art exhibit at the ICA pre-pandemic. It was a small enclosed room with a bunch of big polka dot tubes. Additionally, the exhibit was also covered in mirrors, so you could never tell where the real tubes were and which ones were just a reflection. The whole exhibit was very trippy, and the assortment of different color lights and mirrors made it very bizarre and disorienting.
