The owner Joseph Tawil and myself sat down and talked about what I had in mind. He was very interested in the idea and said he would help. Since the University Theater does not have money to spend on lighting GAM Products donated all the gell we are using in this show. GAM Products also donated the gobo patterns we will be using in this show. When rendering lights in the computer, the computer assumes the light is always white and then you add a gell.
Lights are usually a shade of amber.
Once I had all the equipment I needed in line I needed to start designing. The set was designed and rendered by Mark Reaney . I took that rendering and started playing with colors and light locations. One key element in lighting these VR productions is that there needs to be very little or no light on the screens. I used the model in 3D Studio VIZ to see where lights could or couldn t be hung to get the effect I wanted and to stay off the screens.
