ABSTRACT
Yet , there are times when that live feel is best, such as at one-off shows when there has not been a full rehearsal or at a festival of artists not used to a full lighting rig. In these cases, the lighting designer can contribute to the show’s mood and tempo on the fl y. The LD can set up a series of palettes, instead of preprogrammed scenes, that offer the option of picking various combinations — for example, assigning colors, gobos, and different sweep movements to change moving luminaires “ live. ” The spontaneity can be exciting for both the audiences and the designer.
