Week #5 - Sound in Lights

Last Friday I went to a concert at the Hollywood Palladium. The artist, James Blake, and his band had a amazing lighting and screen with projections to add to his music. This created a close atmosphere. The lights and the screen projections were what my friends and I commented on the most besides how good the artist sounded live. This definitely created an awe throughout the audience.

This photo was shot during the concert, as you can see other phones in the audience. I especially enjoyed the texture from the haze that was used along with the down lights and the side lights. I was interested in how the down lights were sectioned off so when they were on, they projected down on top of the artist/band member in a square. The side lights complimented with color. It was interesting to see the intensity of the lights in how they matched the music.

The green in this photo gives a dark mystical feeling. The combination of the down lights and the haze highlighted the strokes from the lights. In this photo, I feel as though this lighting gives an engulfed feeling. The green reminds me of the Wizard in Wizard of Oz representing power.
