This video is from an old YouTube dance competition I used to watch a few years ago. The lights in this aren't as dramatic as in other videos, but they play a large role in telling the story. I like how it started with a few lights over them. It created a dramatic start to go with the music's fade in. But the best start is how the color change was cued at the exact moment that the female dancer "bit" her partner. It helped to portray the magic and possessiveness underlying the dancers' relationship in their performance.
I love the fact that this piece only uses one color at a time in addition to the white front and back lights. It makes the dance simpler and enhances the emotion given by the performers.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really interesting how bright the lights are because the dance is so intense and dramatic. I also think that it is interesting having such a big change in the lighting on such a small detail in their dance. Obviously it is a big moment but just as a board operator it would be harder to get that just right.
