What awesome photos, venues, and parties.
I always say that Lighting Design is the one area that applies to so much more than live theatre, as everything has lighting involved. To be completely honest, I do not relate to this article when the author uses numbers and letters to describe the types of lighting fixtures used, gel names, and gobos. But what I do respond to is the language used to describe lighting. Because lighting is often not tangible and more abstract in reality, the language used to describe someone's work becomes so important. What I find tricky is that words are so often interpreted differently by different people. Gobos look different small, then when projected through, and more often than not, gels are less intense. Lighting, I feel, is a lot about trust, discussion, and understanding. Especially as designers move into different venues and types of events. This article was cool because it showed me the different packages put together by the designer, similar to swatches for a costume or quick renderings for a set. I think it is incredible how fast, and precisely lighting designers are work. After experiencing a few lighting calls, I am eager to learn more about the process and minds of designers as I feel all designers could benefit from a better understanding of lighting and color.
