Week 10 Jose M. Cortes




On Friday I went to a Linkin Park concert that was a tribute to their lead singer who past away not too long ago. It was a very emotional night for everyone. My sister and I loved this band growing up and always wanted to go to one of their concerts. The night was also very nostalgic since this is the band I listened to in middle school. It took place at the Hollywood Bowl and it was my first time there. I didn't know that they lit up the bowl there in the back so it was a really nice surprise. overall the lighting was what you would normally expect for a concert. Something that really stuck out to me about it was that for one specific song they set a decorated mic center stage and hit it with one white top light. The band played the song but no one got behind the mic so the audience sang the lyrics. That moment really stuck out because somehow everyone instantly what we had to do and the top light that highlighted the mic played a huge emotional role that we audience members picked up on

    Nice photos of concert lighting! Concert lighting becomes the scenery, as it provides lines, defines space, and is its own form of entertainment (audience blinders, strobes, flash n' trash ;) Just a reminder that you're not supposed to post theatrical lighting images here as this blog is for finding light in the world around you that is not stage-related.

I went to the Universal Studios to visit the Halloween Horror Nights. It was a great night with lots of fun and scary moments that were created with a great combination of sound, lighting and actors. An overall atmosphere was created by hazer and some small lighted spots on walls or spots with a fireplace and witches. I think designers used that to introduce the horror nights in calm way to slowly accustom the participants to the horror nights. I think the designers also wanted that the scale of being frightened can increase within the mazes and different areas. As I already been there for daytime, you could really tell the differences between the dream world of the universal studios and the horror world at nighttime. I was afraid that any moment someone would approach me from behind or from a hidden spot to scare me again. Usually I hate Halloween so I enjoyed the little lighted spots that looked for me really cute and not too scary (especially compared to the actual maze...

    This week I was in the middle of the "pre-production" of our final project. In the play there is a silver moon as a light source. When I was walking through the streets I saw exactly what I imagined of that moon light mentioned in the play. There was a silver moon shining through the clouds, creating a moody and at the same time glamorous and mysterious atmosphere. The clouds looked moody, but the moon by itself added the glamorous, mysterious atmosphere because it was shining so bright. Even if it was a cold color (silver/ very light, cold blue), the clouds and the dark bluish night sky created a warm, mysterious feeling and environment. Even if the street was lighted with street lights so that the moon wasn't the only light source, it felt like it was like the main or the source of light on a stage. I think that was caused by the higher angle, the brighter color and the higher intensity. So it combined all the "stronger" parts of lighting and was ...

As I turned off the lobby lights at work, sunlight passed through one window and another, partially lighting a black chair. I wish I had a better camera lens on my mobile device that can handle the light glare a bit better. Oh well! Although the chair is not in the center of my photo, a strong case could be made that is object of attention. It's shadow is distorted. The front of the seat is absorbing light and the curvature of the padded seat can be noticed. I like this photo.   I feel like this photo can tell a hundred different stories.
