Cory Mortimer - Post 4 - Morning in the School of the Arts


It is really amazing what we can stumble upon in a day. I was just walking to class and I saw this interesting scene unfold in front of me and I was like "I want to talk about this for lighting" and took this photo. Here are a few things that I find interesting about this picture.

I will never get over how blue the sky in California is. It just looks extremely fake because it is so perfect. I think we would be able to understand what makes color look good by looking at the sky in this picture. If one would look closely, the sky is lighter towards the bottom of the picture and becomes darker as it moves up the photo. When lighting in theatre, especially when making a sky scene, it would be a good idea to produce this same effect.

I also think that these shadows are extremely striking. There is an extremely crisp shadow on Studio 4 and it makes the picture look so dynamic and edgy. I think this enforces the point that we are shadow designers instead of lighting designers because the shadow is what makes Studio 4 look interesting. These might be interesting things to think about when lighting a city scene.
