Gobos/texture

I really like how the texture used is varied by what surface its being projected onto. The colors of the picture also really add to the effect that is created. It makes it feel like embers or autumn leaves.


There is obviously a gobo being used here. I thought it was interesting how the path changed in width and direction. Though it is interesting, it does kind of bother me. It also seems to be projecting a little onto the wall in the back, making me wonder where the light is positioned.

Gobos

This first picture is interesting mostly because of the clear black-and-white contrast in the costumes. The Gobos can be seen in the back on the brick wall. Based solely on my observation of this picture, I get a fairly crowded feeling with this pattern and its chaotic nature. Mixed with the red on the cyc, there is definitely a sense of tension between the two groups here, and the gobo design reinforces the uncertainty of what is about to happen.


I found this picture in a website for a Quinceanera DJ company. I like the consistent pink in the stage and the patterns on the floor make perfect additions to the dance hall, since the pattern adds texture to the floor so that people enjoy dancing more.

Gobos/Textures

In the top photo, it looks as if there is a gobo or texture being used in order to give the illusion of trees' shadows. I think the gobo helps make the scene look more mysterious and emphasize that it is nighttime; it also helps the audience be sure that the actor is outside of the house. The cool tone of the light also helps the two actors stand out since their spotlights are warmer tones. 

I really like the light texture in this photo. I think this could be used in a scene where something surreal was happening. Maybe it could also be used to represent being underwater or a mystical event. I think this lighting would have to be carefully used in order to make sure it is not overused. This texture would definitely signify something important happening in the play.

These snowflake gobos are really adorable--I really like the shapes and they fit in really well with the apparent Christmas theme of this party. It's interesting that they have so few--it could be just this picture was taken at a weird time, but I feel like you might want a little more light on a dance floor!

Gobo lighting seems to be incredibly popular with weddings--many of the examples I sorted through online were custom-made gobos with the couples' names and the date of the wedding. This lighting is absolutely gorgeous--it makes the room seem so much grander than it already is. And it saves the couple the expense of bringing in more exciting carpeting!

Gobo Lighting

This first image is really interesting to me because I had always thought of gobos as lighting the ground rather than lighting a person. I think it is really cool the use of the gobo here instead of fake wings as a part of her costume. 

This light is neat because it looks like it is coming in through a window by a street lamp or some other source of man-made light. I think its different because there isn't supposed to be a window in the floor but the representation of light coming through a window into the room we are looking at. 

Gobos/Texture Lighting

The main thing that attracts me to this photo is the actor facing toward the light as if it's an actual window. It makes the pattern much more believable. I also like the warm/cool color contrast between the window lights and the purple lighting. To me, the purple lights create the feeling of mystery and the contrast with the actor by himself makes a feeling of loneliness.

The decor already establishes a beach theme, but the lighting makes it even more lively. The bubble and wave effects contribute even more to the idea of being in an ocean. In my opinion, the yellow flooring doesn't need any special lighting. If it had a basic wash of lights, it'd look more like sand leading to the water and create an even greater entrance through the curtains.

Gobos/ Texture

I think of the window gobos really makes the set more natural and majestic in a way. I think there is a power or holiness about the way the light appears to come through the windows. The way the light continues onto the platform makes it appear to be more realistic. It looks almost like there is a slight curve toward the audience which gives the feeling that the wall, that is supposed to be in front of the audience, is curved. I think it really draws the attention of the audience because it is the only part of the stage that is more warm and visible than the rest of the stage.

I think the way these gobos are presented give an unnatural, haunting kind of feeling to the set. They work well with the blue and green lighting to present the women with the wings as the tree themselves. It gives the audience a chilling and magical feeling. I think the yellow light that forms the empty space around the trees gives a notion of moonlight and gives a contrasting spookiness to the present blue and green on the stage.

I thought the gobos used in this picture were very intriguing as they create a sort of astronomical space and floating effect. I thought these gobos were very well placed as they make the person the main focus without drawing attention away from the environment.

I think this gobo is interesting because the color of the floor compliments the gobo itself. The gobo is obviously of trees and the color of the floor has a very earthy tone to it which fits into the gobo well and makes it look much more realistic.
