Lighting Advice for Christmas Productions

ChurchProduction.com: With Christmas fast approaching, most of you are up to you necks in cables, fixtures, and scripts, with visions of lighting cues dancing through your head. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to pause for just a moment and extract yourself from the myriad of details to look again at the big picture of your event. It's really easy to get so consumed by details that we miss the mark when it comes to the event as a whole.

I feel think Christmas time would be the best time of year for a lighting designer to explore the possibilities of the winter season, especially if you're setting up a lighting performance. The focus on christmas lights in our society is very heavy. Even people who don't focus in light will pay thousands of dollars to decorate their house as a hobby. Christmas is the time for people to go crazy for the holidays with lights. There's no limit as to how cool it could be. Every Christmas show I've seen has always blown my mind. These shows range from concerts to lighting is a space just for show. It seems lighting designer have a really good time during the holidays to spread some christmas cheer and entertainment throughout the world. I wonder if projection mapping would be just as power during the holidays or take away from the brightness of Christmas lights.
