#10 Walking with Dinosaurs

Moving lights, haze to show the rays, top down light and its either there is lights from the sides or the light is reflected the floor and thus lights the bottom bit of the Triceratops a little.

In this picture, the patterns on the moving lights helped to texturize the dinosaur's skin, also giving the floor its "rough" rock texture. Wonder if hte lighting is grey?

The haze and rays bring out the scope of the ray, encompassing the T-rex. Putting the ENTIRE dino in the spotlight? Plus the haze also acts to the atmosphere of the dino age,



#9 Stained Glass Effect




It's nothing special about the lighting for stained glass features BUT it is however the co-opration between Sets and Lighting. Just normal white light I guess?
As for the 4th photo. The cross was accentuated by the lighting behind it.

#8 Lighting Idea

Taken at Millenia Walk in Singapore. I can imagine this as a set with the inside being quite dark while theres rays of fluoro lights shining on, with light rays shining through...Haze..
I can imagine this being done in a church or castle, casting a spot on the floor of the set....
loneliness, solitude, enlightenment, connection with god..etc

#7 Rainbows


I know I have better rainbows than these but these were the best I could find right now.
Emm note that the 2nd picture has 2 rainbows in one. Hmm it sort of seems different when you think about doing a singaporean setting onstage.
But focusing on the rainbow, maybe the 1st way is to paint it on already, 2nd, project it and 3rd...put a light through a prism kind of device? So that it gets refracted over the screen?
I havn't shown my lighting teacher this photo so when I do, I'll get the answer.
Aside from that, the blue sky might be a big wash from bottom right upwards of from front of house? The clouds would most probably be painted on.

#6 sunset in Singapore Polytechnic

Red from bottom, blue from bottom, orange from side? little bulbs for faraway classrooms. faraway clouds would most probably be painted. But really nice colours :)

#4 Sun Set

Taken from Indonesia or Malaysia. Silouette would most probably be painted. warm yellow/orangy light from behind the painted scrim, shining onto the screen behind the scrim...
the entire scene is most properly painted but there would most probably be ground row lights with red/orangy colours? Blue light from top left and yellow light from front of house? Hmmm

#3 reflections in the water. light rays



Light rays from the exhibit in Hong Kong's Ocean Park. Most probably done with haze and light from prompt side upstage?
