Quick video on Stage Lighting Design for a large scale stage.
Lighting Design/Special Effects
Due to the nature of the production, the battle scenes all take place in a very large scale setting, after researching how to best light the stage for these scenes, we found that the method used by the lighting design manager in the work Richard III would actually work quite well for our script. The lighting is basically split into different areas on stage, and then different layers of color, as described in the video. We will also be scheduling a meeting with the lighting crew from the film production to compare notes and gain input on how they think the lighting should look.
