Week 6- Sabrina Huang

I took this picture when I went to Disneyland. This was Buzz lightyear on the "Paint the Night" parade. The whole parade is based on lights and I found it really cool that there was what seems to be LED lights all around the slinky part of the dog from toy story. Then there were lights from under surrounded the dog and buzz as the parade kept moving along. The lighting really came to life because it was dark at night and it felt very nostalgic to watch. Made younger me happy!

    Nice post - I saw that parade the other night and enjoyed the myriad of color and movement created by the lighting and matched by the performers :). I love that you are recognized all the layers of light that add up to the whole picture. Please make sure to put the post prompt in the title of the blog and also specifically mention it in the text for the photo.

    I Love Disneyland and Buzz is an iconic spot! I absolutely feel the feeling of nostalgia and childlike joy whenever i see characters and especially with a paint the night parade! Something about the lighting frames their form and costuming so we see them but the audience can see the whole float. The blues and purples melt into each other so nicely and frames the photo and Characters well.

Dance 287 - Blog Instructions and Purpose

As artists, we see the world in unique ways, and we all draw inspiration from our surroundings. These blog posts are designed to help you see lighting differently—deepening your appreciation for light in daily life and broadening your artistic vision. They will help you develop an eye for light, not only in theatre, but also in the everyday moments around you. To better understand how light can influence an audience’s perception, we must first explore how it shapes our own perception day to day. Throughout the quarter, I hope this blog will encourage you to discover light in ways you may not have noticed before. You’ll begin to see colors you’ve overlooked, recognize the angle of a particular light, and learn to articulate how light makes you feel. To support this process, I’ve created a space for each of you to contribute a short entry every other week on an aspect of light you’ve observed during your experiences. This could be a striking sunset, the energy of a rock concert, the desi...

Week 0 - Mac McDermott - Sample Post

  Hello! My name is Mac McDermott. I will be the TA for Dance 287 this quarter. For my post this week, I chose a photo that I took in the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas. I chose this image because of the shadow. Despite being overcast, plenty of light is visible, and the glow gave an ominous warning (which led to running two miles through hail) The layers of clouds cast these deep ever changing shadows across the mountain range. One of the defining traits of my lighting designs is my use of shadow to tell a story.

Week 2, Kaylee Kollins, Tokyo Nights

 For week 1, I have chosen a photo I took this summer, in the streets of Tokyo in the night time. I spend most of my summers here, so looking back at this photo gives me a sense of nostalgia, happiness, and warmth. My favorite part of this photo is that although my iPhone camera quality is not great, it captures the light rays of the street light going in many different directions. The light splitting off in different directions yet remaining symmetrical to me is an art within itself. Another thing that sticks out to me is how the vending machine light glows in this photo. There is nothing more comforting than walking the streets of Tokyo at night and having a vending machine light glare at you in the distance. To me, this photo exudes peace and serenity, as I feel very comfortable walking these streets at night in the town I grew up in, but I cannot say the same about walking the streets at night in America. Another highlight of light in this photo is the entryway to some people's...
