Week #2 Andrew Hallenbeck: Rays from lekos?
Firstly, I would like to stress that this is not my picture (compliments of Google), but it represents a strong lighting image in my memory. My father was driving away me to Irvine to begin my second year. It was overcast and drizzling When I looked behind me at the mountains, I noticed crisp beams of light penetrating the clouds and shining onto the mountainside. I had feelings of retribution and judgement, but also of enlightenment and mostly awe. The single rays on the grey landscape spoke strongly to a feeling of a guardian angel: strong and heavenly, but stern and reserved (I wanted to say "picky" but I couldn't find the right word...). I think the easiest way to recreate the lighting here would be to use spotlights. I feel like lekos would make the strongest statement (judgement) but aren't as soft as the light in the picture. Thoughts? Fuzzing the edge or parcans etc.?

Nice tie of emotions to light and a desire to theatricalize this
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways to do it but one way would be with fresnels at a higher wattage - like a 2000 watt or even 5000 watt fresnel and haze in the air
Lekos could do it as well but PARs may be too raw for what you are seeing
