It's great seeing all these lighting designers different approaches to their individual pieces based on the constraints they faced on each piece. Each of them had to deal with different issues such as issues of power and systems, to color temperature, or working with the other collaborators. These are all issues that I imagine we'll have to deal with in one form or another as we move into the professional (and maybe while were still here at CMU). It's also great to see the varied backgrounds of these three designers. The fact that their work is being recognized despite all their differences is great in seeing the great variety that is available out there in the world
