I was walking up to Keck Theater right around sunset and I noticed that the building was a totally different color than it normally was during the day. The top half that is normally white is a much more yellow/orange color from the warm sunset and it was really bouncing off the building. It reminded me of how much the whiteness of the set affected our picturization project. Since white reflects all colors when some sort of color is directed towards something white it ricochets off so that it's very bright. In addition, the shadow of the trees on the building give it a cool effect that could probably be found in a gobo.
Nice picture! Great observations about Keck Theater reflecting and absorbing certain light wavelengths. I definitely agree about using a gobo for the tree effect.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. The color of the light is so golden and bright on the top half but really shadowing and interesting on the bottom. This really adds to the beauty of the building.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! Great example of how different times of the day can really have an effect on the color tone of the sun! So many options! Love the gobo texture and clarity, and also your commentary on set colors too! those giant light colored walls are hard to light because of the reflection on the actors! but in this case it's gorgeous!
