Drama 16 Stage Lighting

Attribution: me

To me, summer means late nights spent outside next to a fire.

Fall

There are three moving lights on the subject, using gels R017, L141, and R15. The bottom of the cyc is lit with gel R020.

The most iconic and identifiable color of a sunset is orange; the same can be said for fall in New England with the changing of the leaves. Both sunset and fall signal the coming of darker times.

Winter

There are once again three moving lights on the subject. It is lit from SR with gel L201, SL with gel R68, and from the top with gel R51 and the breakup gobo. The cyc is lit with gel L201.

Winter is bright and white, but there is texture in the snow and North Dakota gets a lot of snow.

Spring

There are three moving lights on the subject, all SL, with gels L192, L328, and the third with gel R51 and a window gobo.

Sunrises and spring have a pink tint to them. Gothic Cathedrals have very prominent windows, through which a sunrise would be beautiful.

Summer

The subject is lit from the front using moving lights with gel L201 and from the top with a moving light with gel R002. The cyc is lit with gel R077 from the bottom and R082 from the top.

During part of the year, shadows seem to completely disappear around noon in places like Hawaii because the sun is directly above the objects.
