Didn't have a lot of time this week to explore lights, but I found this image from Halloween a few years ago. I've always liked the brightness of the sunrise in the background. Despite the flash of the camera (which, like flat fronts, washes out the body and face), the background still is a vibrant yellow/pink. This reminds me of our super-cyc in class, which we are still suprised at it's own brightness. I think that, even if the flat front/camera flash color were different, saturate or tinted, the cyc/sunset would remain the same. Likewise, the color of the cyc has no significant effect on the main acting area, unless you are creating a silhouette effect. The tree next to my hand is washed out by the light a lot more than the tree in the background, so that's something to apply to stage lighting. For those who are wondering, it is a costume of Flynn Rider from Disney's Tangled.Sunday, November 20, 2011

Very nice subtle realizations about the use of cyc lights in class and in lighting in general
