Lighting and Movement

Firstly, I feel as if this video is a good example of lighting with movement. The choreography may not be the best, but the way that the lighting changes from person to person really intensifies everything that happens. What is especially cool about this video is the moments where there are people that's lights are blacked out are carrying other people and it makes it appear as if they were floating in mid-air. Of course, there is more to lighting than just having the outline of a person show up, and I feel as though that is where my next video is able to really shine.


This video is from one of the 2007 Alive tour from Daft Punk. I feel like this show is the epitome of stage lighting. Somehow the lighting is able to be capable of displaying great movement, despite being largely directed from the central location of the pyramid. This, coupled with the screens being able to display great amounts of different visuals, add to create a great cohesive masterful lighting show. I feel like despite the fact that everything in this show is primarily stationary, the lighting is able to make the viewer feel a great sense of movement overall. It also doesn't hurt that there is a nice soundtrack to listen to while viewing the lights either.
