Ok, so this isn't really a lighting image, it is a time-lapse of the scene shift in "Clybourne Park." It's pretty cool. This scene shift happens at intermission and takes about 12 minutes to complete. If you want to know a little more about the show and the shift, you can read about it here. I'll have show photos to go along with it soon.
I thought Memphis was just ok... I did like the lighting - you had Auras, Vipers, and Seladors galor! The set, not so much... it was fairly drab and that kind of disappointed me... fantastic cast, though!

Here's a similar video, a theater I work at did Into the Woods which struck on Saturday night at 11:30pm-ish and loaded in The Light in the Piazza for an 11am dress rehearsal/2pm special performance.
Here's a time lapse video I created of the changeover:
This is a show (Summer & Smoke by Tennessee Williams) that I designed this year. The show itself is pretty straight forward and the pics will give you a bit of an idea of our space. Our set design broke the stage into 3 sections, Dr. Office (SR to Centre),Rectory (SL to Centre) and Outdoors (casino, park, etc.).
The fountain and angel were always eliminated through the show as was the medical chart and piano with specials. Once the young Dr's father gets killed, I made a choice to take out the chart light, but you would need to see the play to get a feel for why.
As far as fixtures, the top wash is an RGBA LEDPar, the front wash is standard ellipsoidal S4 Jr and Sr, the angel wall is lit with 3 Philips Selecon PLCyc LEDs (Sweet fixture btw).
In addition, in the first scene, Tennessee calls for a number of fireworks. Fortunately I now have LEDs, so the response time of the fixtures could do what I wanted. I felt it turned out rather well.
Good day all! First post on this site...of many more
this isnt a show just a shot of some scene making in our living room
we do have a couple of shows planned in near future so I hope to have more pictures and videos
Just finished, last night, a three day middle school music concert. They played current top 40 pop songs. I brought in lights last year and they were super happy, so this is turning into an annual gig for me. I used 60 wattLED movers (4 on vertical truss, two on the drum riser), an Atomic 3000 on the riser, Radiance hazer, and two trees of RGBA LED 4-bars on L16's. I used haze for every show last year and for three shows this year. On the final night before the show the alarms went off. Building was evacuated, two fire trucks, an ignorant lecture from a fire official, and a delayed start of the show. Thankfully the haze stuck around for most of the hour and a half show, so some beamage was still possible.
As the semester wraps up, my latest effort in lighting design. As you can see, the show was more realistic than the ones I have posted on here before (no one is lit in bright pink light for their monologue). I tried to make the majority of the light actually come from the 6 or so 100W light bulbs that I had hanging around, and other strongly motivated sources. Its a 75 minute play about a dude who kills someone. Thus why its called Killers. A Directing III project for Columbia College Chicago, directed by Erin Shea Brady, set design by Christopher Scholtens, Costumes by Moriah Turner, Lighting by Steven M. Hiben, photos by Liz Scheiner. It was fun and exciting.
Before that I did a new play, with the same director. It was also pretty realistic, took place in a few different locations on a smallish stage and for like no money. Hey I even got to use a few tricks I picked up lighting boring (but profitable) corporate events. The play was really cool, is called Stature of God, and we did a full production of the first act at the Fresh Ink Festival at Columbia College Chicago! Its about a guy who is going to space. Also his wife. Anyhow, its Stature of God by Ian Michael James, Directed by Erin Shea Brady, Set by Andrea Awad, Lights by Steven M Hiben, Photography by Liz Scheiner.
Here are a few shots from this years TheatreUCF Dance Concert: With a Twist. The show gets cut up and handed out to a bunch of different lighting designers. The piece I designed is a cover of the song "Titanium"
