How Intelligent Fixtures Affect The Production Arts

During the first half of the play, I did not really notice the lights except during the scene transitions. The main reason I did not notice them is because their job during the early parts of the play were to establish the location. We were in a standard basement that had one window above the stairs, so most of the light in the room had to be coming from an artificial source, most likely a lightbulb.

Joseph Swan, English physicist and chemist, is credited for the first primitive lightbulb in 1860. Twenty-years later (1880), Swan and the infamous inventor, Thomas A. Edison, produced the practical lightbulb (The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica, 3). By 1881, “ Swan’s lighting was first used in the Savoy Theatre, located in London, England, (the home of the Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas). The use of electrical lighting birthed many new inventions including the ellipsoidal reflector spotlight (ERS) by 1933. The mechanics of the ERS, made way for the invention of gobos. “The ERS was built with slots for filters, shutters and objects to cast shapes or block off parts of the stage” (Spoors, 7)). While operating the ERS, demanding stage managers would call for “Go Blackout” cues, and eventually these cues were shortened to the term gobo (“GO BlackOut”), referring to the shutter dropped down in front of the beam. With time, stagehands discovered they could make textures, shapes, and depth, by cutting shapes/pictures into the shutters for the ERS. Today, the common definition for gobos is now “GOes Before Optic”(Spoors, 7) referring to the location of the gobo on lighting instruments. It is amazing how much work, and experimentation involved in the world of

The lights may appear in various colors as they move about, split apart, melt together, disappear and reappear.

So one of the things that was invented that have been reinvented is a traffic light. The traffic light was invented in the 1920s by an inventor named William ports. He used the three main colors green, amber, and red. The first traffic light was put

Have you ever wondered were led lights came from..? well I Daniel Mcfarland was born in Pennsylvania on February, 27 1869 and attended Lehigh University for college from 1884-1889. I studied electrical engineering, After experimenting with different sources, I started using glow discharges to produce light. In 1986 I had devised a glow discharge lighting system, creating an extension to the Geissler tube. The lamp utilized nitrogen and carbon dioxide as the luminous gas because they emitted a soft white light. My technique was the first commercially variable light source based on gas discharge instead of incandescence, and it's considered the predecessor to contemporary neon and fluorescent lighting.

Tim Burton used lighting to show how the characters felt or what mood/tone the scene is supposed to

Throughout the play, it was amazing how they used the lights to transition when tragic events occurred in play like a cliffhanger. In part three, when Shane confesses about the wrong deeds Kippy did, the light shines only at Darren and Kippy to make the event look serious; which made event suspenseful for the audience to capture their attention.

The lights were not turned up all the way to enhance the feeling of a prison. One part that really stood out to me was when the orchestra was playing the overture before the acting began and the lights flashed to signify a change in the tone of the musical. It was exactly cued with the beat and executed perfectly. It was just a tiny element of the production, but it just really stuck with me. Aside from of that, the lights were a helpful cue to what was going on with the characters. When the Knight of Mirrors was fighting with Don Quixote the lights got very bright to signify Don Quixote’s confusion. Then when the fight was over and Cervantes was lying in the chair the lights got dimmer and almost a blue shade to show the sickness of Cervantes. Overall, I felt that the lights made an enormous impact on the overall view of this show and helped to add effects in a positive

Organization, processing and Distribution of photos with less effort is the challenge of shooting any event. Lightroom simplifies the burden of organizing event photos through its keywording and file renaming options. Lightroom also handles RAW processing and image distribution through web and print media with much less efforts.

In addition to this the use of heavy amounts of red light and blue light was quite noticeable for the bar scene as well, especially highlighted in the dance performances. Moreover, the light was not only red and blue in color but the visual of a single red or blue light bulb was depicted several times throughout the film. With this single concentrated light source in the scene, it drew the audiences attention to specific areas in the scene and moved the eye around the set. Another lighting technique used in flash-dance during some of the scenes was top light. This technique worked really well, especially in the ballet scenes where harsh shadows from the top light accentuated the physicality and movement of the dance. Also the lighting technique of spotlight was used during the cooks comedy routine at the

Limited design innovations were mostly rooted in the scarce advancements made with regard to lighting technology. Where this began to change and evolve was in the early 1800s, when the gaslight was introduced into the performing arts sphere. The new technology was brought into the theatre industry by William Murdoch and later F.A. Winsor, who used the lights to replace candles in framing the stage

Eric Wolfensohn: Pioneer of Twentieth-Century British Theatre Lighting Design. Eric Wolfensohn was part of a small group of British lighting designers That started around the 1940s. In this article, Wolfensohn established a blueprint for the working pattern of the modern freelance lighting designer. He covers all techniques to used in a wide variety of different types of shows. He talks about different eras of lighting and what it would mean at the time to the show, How certain elements can change the audience emotion depending on position, colour and brightness. Discusses how you must blend you design into others to make something whole eg (Making sure lights match costumes on stage). The article will be useful to the question in seeing which

As LED technology increases everyday it presents an opportunity to significantly reduce energy consumption, but also change the way users deploy, monitor and control these lighting systems. Today there are various solutions allowing cities to control light fixtures through a cloud based systems connecting to a computer, a tablet or other devices. These solutions smarten up a road’s or park’s lighting system by enabling independent handling of each fixture. Integrating a cloud based system will also lower maintenance cost as it provides a real-time control and monitoring of individual fixtures allowing instant notifications of malfunction and pin points the exact location of the fixture needing maintenance.
