Lighting in Shrek!

Week 6:  I did Shrek at the Fullerton Plummer Auditorium this summer and was in awe of all of the professionals around me.  From lighting, costume and scenic designers, to the actors themselves, I learned so much in from each one of them.  I didn't work directly with the lighting designers, but I could start to understand their process hearing about the meetings and seeing them work during tech.  I would ask a lot of questions about random things just so I would know about almost everything happening around me.  I spanned this shot with my Iphone during Lord Farquaads big production number "Duloc".  It was a very comedic number with A LOT of cues.  This was the last cue of the number and I found it magical.  The box 3 booms on stage left in the second wing, as well as the many smaller lights in the first wing stands out the most to me when I look at this picture.  The many lights from above, diagonal, fog and etc make it look so colorful and fun!  Everything is directed upstage C completely highlighting the main attraction.  I feel so joyous when I see of the angles and colors used in this one cue.  I love the use of yellow and red and touches of blue light.  This is how it looks from stage Right, I wish I could have seen it from the audience!
