The first three photos are from a play called "The Maltese Walter", in which a man named Walter can make any moment into film noire. These are shots from the moments of film noire. R69 worked perfectly for the effect I was trying to give. The 4th photo is from a play called "Dante's Inferno: The Motion Picture". This particular scene was supposed to be a dramatic death. The last photo is from a play called "Unfamiliar Waltz". The director wanted to go in a futuristic style, so I tried my best at creating a sort of post-apocalyptic other worldy atmosphere.

The scene was a discussion between two teens regarding the suicide of the girl's brother. The intent of the lighting was to convey a late autumn evening after dusk, along a river (flickering through the use of two gobos).

This photo was from a ballet piece set to Schubert's Ave Maria. My inspiration was specifically the golden tone sunlight takes on before it sets. Using R14 combined with R57 and Rosco gobos the lighting took on an warm ethereal quality. The goal was to capture the quality clouds take on when lit by a strong sunset, something the rosco filters were able to recreate beautifully. Photos by Paul Pharris

The first image shows the uplighting on the 45' curtain in the back just after setup. The uplighting was done with 7 Source 4 WFLs alternating between R12 and R68. The second image shows the same uplighting during Rave hour of the dance marathon. We wanted to create extra depth between the subjects on stage and the black curtain behind, using colors that represented the event (R68 for the university and R12 for the yellow ribbon)

We used the warm gels to create a feeling of a Tuscan Patio for a cocktail area inside the reception hall. Despite being indoors we wanted the area to have the feeling of a warm night outside.

This was a production of the musical Xanadu Jr. by the CCM Prep Department. A system of PAR 64 backlight with R377 created a bright and magical tone that was used in many scenes. A high side wash from either side with R68 helped sculpt performers. A top fresnel with with R08 helped warm things up where needed, and an R33 system from the front helped light faces clearly, and had a clean tone.

These photos were taken of Studio VII Theatre Company's production of "Almost, Maine". For this production I was the Lighting Designer and at the beginning of our creative process we decided that we wanted the light to really capture the temperature and emotion of the show. I started looking at which colors I wanted to use in my systems. Since the show is set in Northern Maine during the winter I started to look at different research images of Maine during the winter and food that they all contained beautifully saturated blues and purples.

All Rosco products were used in this production. with over 300 lighting fixtures rigged for this show this show was a success in a technical aspect.
