As I walked by the UCI Barclay Theatre I noticed this beautiful sculpture that caught my attention right away. I began to envision the sculpture as a dancer and thought how lighting can truly have a strop impact on stillness. After taking the picture, I noticed that the way the lighting was revealed in the picture was not as powerful as being in front of the sculpture that night. I would like to know how to make lighting have such a strong impact in the way that it does in live performance as in still photos or on video. This is very important to me because documenting dance is as important as a choreographer for me as the live performance. I found that this sculpture was a strong image with lights all around it reflecting its beauty.

I agree, I would love to learn how to, if it's even possible, capture the grandeur and emotionality we experience when we see light in person (in real life) on film. Maybe you just need a really big screen and a 3D camera.... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Celeste - first of all, please remember to give a subject line to your posts with the Week # first. Did you post a picture, I do not see one - it would make it easier to respond to this post.
ReplyDeleteThere are many tricks and tips about lighting for the camera vs for live that we will talk about in class
That is actually one of my favorite sculptures on campus. Personally, the lighting on the sculpture makes me feel like it is going to jump out at any moment. I find it interesting that the sculpture is an epitome of stillness, yet the lights make anticipate its movement.
