Week #3- Andrew Hallenbeck and the Gobo-like shutter

This is the light/shadow cast by the shutters in my bedroom.  There are more panels of light layered over each one (you can see this in the second panel from the left) that would kind of flash (can't find the perfect word) in intensity.  The clean cut at the top of the panels as well as the distinctness of the pattern combined with the flashy-ish sensation and different intensities of light gives the light here an electronic feel for me.  It was like the light was processing data or at least symbolized the processing of data.  I think lighting like this would be most effective on the cyc so the audience would get a clear picture of the design.  I do have to wonder though: can gobos give the flashing layers of light?

  1. Really great image!

    Yes, you can do this by putting two gobos in one light and adjusting the lens train to to get the right sharpness

    Haunting image :)

  2. This is quite lovely! I am always looking for moments like this to replicate in my designs. Keep your eyes open light can also inspire moments within your choreography. For example; You could take this image and it could inspire layers of chaos on stage .

    Great Find!

  3. Stacie, I am really enjoying how your comments in reply to our blog posts are relating to how we can use all of these same inspirations in our choreography. Thanks!
