Soooo, we were up a little late last night, getting the light's mostly aimed for Robin Hood. Regina and Daryl are awesome, slap happy, but awesome. I'm trying to make the design for the show different, always looking to try new shtuff. So in this show we'll have the traditional lighting and colors that we've always done. I have stolen 3 elipsodial lights and inserted break up gobos with leaf and tree patterns. These lights are actually at the BACK of the stage pointed towards the floor just in front of the audience. The effect on the floor is cool, but what I'm really thinking about is the effect in the air above the stage. I am going to be hazin' the theater during the whole run.
Actually Jenny will be hazin' - I'll be running sound.
Additionally we borrowed a light boom from Roger (thank you Roger!) to mount 3 par lights that we stole from the grid. 1 of these lights will be focused at the east wall behind the stage. The other two will be pointed at the north wall, but horizontally. We're going to put one light at ~ 5 feet and another at 10 feet. So I was driving in to work and the sun was coming up and I noticed the sky was light on the horizon but dark overhead. Aiming these lights like this I hope will let me recreate some of that. Yes they are the wrong style of light. And yes, I'm gonna work with what I've got.
Last on the light parade we're going to put incandescent floods at the base of the set to up light a tower Regina has put on her set. I bought a 4 channel DMX dimmer so we can finally put those pesky on stage lights in the light board program.
Taking a little risk on this one. Hope it isn't a huge mistake! So things will work out, some other things may not. Come back throughout the process, I'll keep on blogging. So many exciting things with sound - HTR. I'll say more maybe tomorrow.....
Stay Techie my friends!
