Lighting Notes and Information

Lighting Design Project


Project Requirements:
  • Your group will design a lighting presentation around a piece of music (around 1 minute is a good time length to aim for).
  • Your stage will already be set with a small white backdrop to pick up the light and color.  If you would like to add a small prop or piece(s) of scenery in front of that, you are welcome to (but not required).
  • There should be no live actors on stage, and no manipulation of set pieces on stage during the presentation.
  • Use at least 6 source four instruments from the catwalk 
  • Use the color LED instruments from the first electric
  • You should primarily design your presentation as a show (pressing 'go' to advance cues).  You can use a submaster for an effect if you like, but let your focus be in programming your show.

Optional to include:
  • Gobo or Lighting Gel with a Source Four
  • Other instruments from the first electric (Ellipsoidals or PAR's)
