Its hard to believe that i will be leaving this place in less than a week.
its actually got me very sad.
i think this experience here has been fantastic, and a great opportunity.
What i have found interesting, while watching this process, is Davids use of contrast and colors. In act 3 the whole upper part of the set is lit with a very low and cool blue back light. whereas the Jail is lit with a warm amber that's much closer to a candlelight. During Caverdosis aria the Main light is cast through the doors and through the bars giving this amazing look on the wall, and Caverdosi (if he doesnt stand right in the shadow created by the big part of the cell.)
The color contrast (Blue, Amber)is interesting, as it seems like this is the big color combination for most hollywood movies. but after discussing it with David, i realized, what other contrasting colors would you use pink and green? the Amber and Blue light are good contrasting colors and close to what you would get in reality(a blue night with amber streetlights why not)
Theoretically one can only have two color pallets while lighting, a red pallet or a green pallet and you should not mix between the two, unless its for a dramatic shift, because our eyes will be naturally drawn to the dramatic shift.
interesting food for thought.
