The first photo is of the stage pre-show. We showcased the gel colors and gobos we used to help create a dramatic atmosphere even before the show began.

The second photo is of when the owners of the factory are yelling at the girls to keep working even under terrible conditions. We focused on making sure the actors were well lit with a mixture of bastard amber and chocolate gels. The third electric was mostly green with some gels of royal blue to accent the changing framework set.

This event was a Fashion Show for the MATT program at UK. They wanted up lighting throughout the venue to have a spring feeling.

Room up lighting to set the event theme. Used R68 for a blue and R90 for green.

On LED uplighting we had, we used R114 to frost the light against the curtain.

The lighting concept for Machinal was "light as freedom." The lighting utilized color and position to create an environment around the Young Woman that shifted depending on when she was at her most and least free. When she was at her least free, her environment was cold, steely, sterile. When at her most free, she was bathed in soft, rose-gold light. The only time R01 was used was when the Young Woman was in a place of warmth, of freedom. That's also when R39, R18, and R02 were most present.

This is a moment from RENT, in the song "Christmas Bells." The scene is a montage of different moments around the stage, that happen in rapid succession. The color palette was shades of blue because of the location and weather of the scene: exterior, possibly in the shadow of tall buildings, and snowy. Therefore, I chose R64 downlight as the key for most of the scene, while highlighting the various moments with less saturated colors. R64 is somewhat saturated but will still provide non-blue color rendering, making it a good choice for a stage wash.

We used R67 to make the dresses Pop and R26 for the striptease scene, because nothing says whore like R26

The Designer used a backlight gobo gelled in R373 and high side gobo gelled in Half cut R93/open white to create a stark, dingy feel. the only other light is coming from low LED Side light.

This is a photo from the one act play: "Jumping". In this photo the two characters are just meeting and starting to fall for another. The play is set in the cold region of Washington at night by a bridge. So I used R80 on the cyc to create that cold atmosphere, with a simple front wash of R08 and R62 for corrective color, with a single special creating a sort of street lamp (which the two characters are sitting under) using R12.

This is Act Two Scene One of Neil LaBute's Reasons To Be Pretty. In this scene the two characters bump into one another in the lobby of a restaurant. For the lighting I used a 50% intensity on a front wash that consisted mainly of R21 with a 10% intensity of R80 for color correction. I used a higher intensity of R21 to showcase a warm, romantic glow to set the environment of a 4 star restaurant at night. For my down wash I used R36 at an intensity of 20% to assist the R21 in creating a flush, warm, and romantic atmosphere.
