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).
  • As a backdrop, you will have either the cyc or the white orchestra shell (both show color very well).  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 5 source four instruments from the first electric (focused and shuttered if needed)
  • 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
  • Instruments from the Catwalk

Project Requirements:
  • Your group will design a lighting presentation around a piece of music (1 minute or less 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, nor any manipulation of the set pieces on stage during the presentation.
  • Use at least 4 source four instruments from the catwalk (from these, you should have at least one instrument with a lighting gel, and at least one instrument with a gobo)
  • Use the color LED instruments from the first electric
  • Use at least two other instruments (either Ellipsoidals or PAR's) 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.
