Scrolling the social media platforms this morning I came across a video of someone complaining about lighting instruments in period movies/shows... now sure a lot of times those details are missed, but in this case they were arguing that the lighting represented in Bohemian Rhapsody was inaccurate because of silver parcans that looked too "new" and that they had moving lights which have only been around for a "few" years.... *ahem*
Letting those inaccuracies go and listening to my closet of showco's creaking down the hallway... why is it that most programs only teach the history of design and theory, but not the history of the fixtures and development of how those fixtures changed the course of design? Does anyone here teach the history of fixtures?
Bonus points for the first known "moving light", when it was used and the first time you used one... double bonus points for photos.
