CharlieH Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I finally managed to get hold of some photos from our previous school plays, so here they are. As there are 2 plays here, I am assuming that the 3 photos rule applies per production, hence the 6 below ;) GodspellI was lighting designer, and we 48 channels of generics and a few smoke machines. No movers, hazers, LEDs or any other toys :** laughs out loud **: http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Godspell/DSC_0972.jpg http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Godspell/DSC_0963.jpg http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Godspell/DSC_0934.jpg Return to the Forbidden PlanetIdentical spec to the above really, no gadgets, and the same generic rig.http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Return%20to%20the%20Forbidden%20Planet/DSCF1658.jpg http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Return%20to%20the%20Forbidden%20Planet/DSCF1661.jpg http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy114/Charlie18061/Return%20to%20the%20Forbidden%20Planet/DSCF1454.jpg I thoroughly enjoyed the above 2 productions, although looking back some of the face light was a little weak :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lighting for RTTFP looks very Brechtian. Was that the intent Charlie? Cheers Smiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lighting for RTTFP looks very Brechtian. Was that the intent Charlie?Umm, not particularly, however looking back I can see what you mean :wacko: EDIT: Having said that, the lights in that last photo weren't as visible as they look - the audience were sitting much farther back into the auditorium, meaning the fixtures were blocked from view by the borders. I did go for a bright stage, however, as the director wanted a clinical feel to the spaceship. You can't see them in these pics, but there was a bar of codas, upstage of the doors, that backlight the stage, and this looked very atmospheric when used :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 It's not so much seeing the kit, more the fact that it's stark and white - is there actually any colour in the rig at all? Nothing wrong with Brechtian Whiteness, of course, but for RTTFP it's a bit unusual. That's not wrong, just a very different take to the usual psuedo rock and roll saturated colour. The pictures look almost like a TV set in terms of any colour as long as it's white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommulliner Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 That looks like a well funded 'Talent Show'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 That looks like a well funded 'Talent Show'!!We just finished ours a few nights ago, and not only is it a well funded talent show; it looks as if it is also a well rehearsed talent show! Our rehearsal time was limited to one rehearsal of all the acts (in which I had to try and design the lighting for each act whilst running microphones and a backing track!!!) and then a dress/tech a few hours before the house opened http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif Needless to say the acts had a rather basic lighting plot and tempers were slightly strained over cans http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamtastic3 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Have to ask.....MrCog, what were the LED cans?Azza, what were the LED tubes? I ask because both fixtures look great from the pictures and the LED's in the cans don't look very separated, which is always the pain with RGB cans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcog Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Jamtastic, The LED cans were just cheap and cheerful chinese can's (I believe), we hired them from Viking Lighting along with all the other lampie stuff and power and the LED can's were the one's here. Off topic, I can highly recommend Viking Lighting! They genuinely do everything in their power to sort stuff out even if it's been a mistake on our end! (Which did happen once..)

Smiffy Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Needless to say the acts had a rather basic lighting plot and tempers were slightly strained over cans And therein lies the difference between the up and comerers and the pro's.... BBC's TOTP if I recall correctly, had about 5 minutes of LX Programming per song during the camera rehearsals, all stress free. http://www.blue-room.org.uk/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
