so in a recent play i was trying to achieve an effect where i shawn light through a window during a night scene to simulate the light of the moon from outside. that went over great. then i tried doing a similar thing where i was trying to achieve the affects of morning. That was less than...

We have a bar hanging just above the apron of the stage and we often have ellipsoidals on it acting as floods. i've been trying to get people to use more fresnels as flood or boxfloods even but they're being lame about it. anyone have anything i could say to change their minds, i.e. techno babble?

how is it that we can all do kick ass lighting but not take a decent snap shop?

i have. it's been fruitless thus far. i've come across and very basic book at a local favorite book shop of mine but i was wondering if there were something... on the internet.

Brother we are one in the same (Creepy ass way to start this). i'm a lighting designer for my school as well. we have no budget (as in $0.00) so i'm always on the lookout for parts that i can buy on the cheap or things that i can make myself. but you're sorta SOL because the thing you want is a...

hi. i'm a high school student who loves his lights. i hope to head the department next year but i have an issue. I'm ignorant of most of the technology and theory of lighting. i know the basics like Pars, fresnels, ellipsoidals, gobos, and what not. and know how to use back lighting, front...

yes! but they're all insanely expensive

i've seen some that'll work for ellipsoidals and that's what i'm looking for

i think they use those in france.

i really want i fx loop. i've been only seeing them for 500$-700$ is there any which way i could get one for a double digit budget?

try local theaters. ask if you can get in contact with their lighting department and ask around. but i can't see you not having to pay for an actual consultant :/
