Shadows

One of the most fascinating things that have stuck with me throughout the quarter was when one of the TA's or Jaime mentioned that lighting designers are actually shadow workers. It is so interesting to me that creating shadows on the face or on the floor can mean so many different things. The artistic and expressionist side of lighting can go to the fullest extent of shadowing. Shadow's help human beings so much, it is how we can tell what time of day it is, if someone is behind us, what to maybe stay away from. In the shadows of buildings and tree's is how humans have learned to stay cool from the sun. Shadow's serve much more purpose and hold incredible amounts of meaning. I noticed different shadows that happened through out the day. Since i'm mostly inside the studio all week I noticed the shadow of the bars. The overlaps create cool patterns on the floor much like how a gobo would. After taking this class I'm much more aware of a shadows presence, because I have become accustomed to looking for light.
