    Review: Light workshop
    Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 12:04 AM

    -----I didn't accept e invite for TSD blog that time so I have to blog here before I forget heh-----

    "Light is the 3rd actor on stage."

    The lighting designers are truly inspiring! Even though they were only talking on and on about their "life" in this theatre industry, I felt that they were actually telling us what's so special about LIGHTS. They really really love their lights. I guess it was their passion that kept them in this path. From today's talk, I learnt to appreciate lights more. WE MUST PLACE LIGHTS ON A EQUAL BASIS WITH THE OTHER SKILLS!

    "I'm a painter, I paint with lights. I'm an artiste."

    Lights: To express emotions. To tell a message. Has the power to change the show.
    Unlike the olden days, technology has made lightings easier to be configured, etc. now. We have more knowledge, aesthetics and references that allowed us to have more options such as accessibility. However, technology is used for 'support' only. We can't depend on it too much that we lose focus on the lights itself (the expression here is abit weird...hehe...) We need to learn to put our creativity into use! Creativity > Technology.

    "Lights mustn't steal the show, it compliments."

    Sometimes having more lights doesn't necessarily means that it's a good thing! LESS = MORE! In Singapore, we* believe that a great performance should consist of "boomz" lights. We often expect more lights cause' we think that it means more coverage (face value!). But we must really change that thinking. Less is usually more beautiful as compared to more. Hehe.
    *: 'We' means the Singaporeans, not referring to us hahaha.

    "Lighting is a language itself." } Xiao Li Heng, a China lighting designer. (as mentioned)

    Some experiences that influenced their way of working with lights.
    - Precision is not really necessary. Sometimes, being anal is not good!
    - It's important for lighting crew to "feel" the show so that the lights can have the right "feel".
    - We need to get back to basics!!! This will help us to really appreciate our lights more.
    - Images helps one to be more visually stimulated. Keep a book of pictures!
    - Kuo Pao Kun: Attitude is important.
    - Christian Jade: Break away from conventions!!!
    - Concept is more important than face coverage, etc. CONCEPT CONCEPT CONCEPT.
    - Challenge: Using light intensities to create feelings.
    - Light = material. Feel the texture.
    - Experience is key!
    - DARE TO EXPERIMENT!!!

    "We learn when we bang walls."

    Texture of lights is more of an emotion, not really physical texture. It depends on how you interpret it. And also, lighting doesn't take influence from any culture but from the designer himself.
    When there is no artistic direction, there will be no life. So, light design needs to suit all the other designs for the perfect piece!

    Advices:
    - EXPERIMENT. Only when you see and experience it in real life will you be able to understand.
    - PLAY. Play with layers. Play with intensities. Play with colours.
    - BE SENSITIVE. Your environment (light sources) is a great source of inspiration :D
    - ENJOY. You must first enjoy the play before you can pick the correct lights.
    - KEEP A BOOK. Jot down ideas, put in images.
    - DAYDREAM. It opens up many possibilities.
    - RECALL. Personal experiences can help.

    Hello wurlllllll~
    I'm hooked up with Anime & Manga... Teehee. That's why my blog is lack of posts! :P
    I had been watching... and reading...

    --- Aishiteruze Baby is a shōjo manga series that revolves around the life of Kippei Katakura, a popular high-school playboy who flirts with any girl he sees, without thinking about their feelings. His life is turned upside down when one day his aunt abandons his five-year-old cousin Yuzuyu at his house. Kippei is assigned the task of taking care of Yuzuyu for the time being, and he must learn how to become the "mother" she needs. As Kippei learns how to care for Yuzuyu, he also learns to care for Kokoro, a quiet girl at his school, who helps him out.
    (I TOTALLY LOVE THIS SHOW~! IT IS SO CUTEEE :D)

    ICHIGO 100%

    --- One day, Manaka Junpei walks to the roof of his school and encounters a beautiful girl falling down from above him and accidentally exposing her strawberry panties. The embarrassed girl runs away before Junpei can find out whom she is. He wishes to become a filmmaker, and this whole experienced seemed like it would make the perfect scene in a movie. And so he goes on a search for the girl with the strawberry panties in order to reenact it all on film. But he will soon discover that finding that one girl will not be that easy.

    HATSUKOI LIMITED

    --- A series relating the intertwined stories about the "first loves" of several middle-schoolers and high-schoolers. Each episode tends to focus on a different character, however the developments established during previous episodes continue to play smaller roles in those following.

    HONEY X HONEY DROPS (manga)

    --- Hagino Yuzuru is a common girl who takes a normal course of Hojo High School. When she works a part-time job during summer break, she makes trouble with Renge Kai of the Kuge course which many rich people take. After the summer break, she finds that she was chosen as Kai's "HONEY". The HONEY is a partner of a MASTER, a Kuge course student, to take care of him until he graduates from the school, and the HONEY is chosen from the normal course student. The HONEY is exempt from paying tuition fee. It is a fascinating condition for Yuzuru because her family is badly off. However, if she quits being HONEY, she will be expelled from the school. Getting involved with Renge Kai, one of the special students, could be a big mistake for Yuzuru.
    (THIS IS DAMN E C C H I HAHAHA)

    TO LOVE-RU

    --- The story of To Love-Ru revolves around Rito Yūki, a high-school student who cannot confess to the girl of his dreams, Haruna Sairenji.

Her father wants her to return to her home planet so she can marry one of the husband candidates. But she decides that she wants to marry Rito in order to stay on Earth. Commander Zastin has been ordered to bring Lala back and has already battled Rito. He reports to the emperor that Rito would be suited to marry Lala, after hearing Rito, who was actually defending himself instead of Lala, says that marriage is impossible unless it is with the person you love. Lala truly falls in love with Rito and decides that she wants to marry Rito after hearing what he said. Her father decides that, if Rito is able to protect Lala from her fiancés, then he can marry her, but if Rito cannot protect Lala from her other fiancés and meet the king's expectations, Lala's father will kill Rito and destroy the Earth.

    Clueless
    Sunday, November 01, 2009, 10:42 PM

    Recently... I don't know what to post. Hmmm. I shall post some random stuff.

    Ever wondered what are your eyebrows for?

    From wikipedia:
    The eyebrow is an area of thick, delicate hairs above the eye that follows the shape of the lower margin of the brow ridges. Their main function is to protect the eye, but they are also important to human communication and facial expression.[1] It is not uncommon for people to modify their eyebrows by means of hair addition or removal, make up, or piercings.

    The main function of the eyebrow is to prevent moisture, mostly salty sweat and rain, from flowing into the eye. The typical curved shape of the eyebrow (with a slant on the side) and the direction in which eyebrow hairs are pointed, make sure that moisture has a tendency to flow sideways around the eyes, along the side of the head and along the nose. The slightly protruding brow ridges of modern humans could also still play a supporting role in this process.[citation needed] Together with the brow ridges, the eyebrows also shade the eyes from sunlight. Eyebrows also prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing a more sensitive sense for detecting objects being near the eye, like small insects.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AM I RANDOM ENOUGH? :D

    Dare to dream
    Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 11:58 PM

    Had an inspirational talk with my Daddy over dinner today.
    I questioned him about my future.

    "Am I too ambitious?"

    He told me that if everyone asks themselves that question, the world won't be functioning now.

    "There will always be people who are better than you.
    But, so what? You still need a living!
    Don't give up just cause' there are people who are better than you.
    You yourself can be better than someone else!
    Don't ever think you can't make it."

    "Hmmmmmmm..."

    "Look at the durian stall opposite. He sells durian, I also sell durian. All my neighbours are also selling durian! But look, have I given up my stall? No! Cause' I believe I can have business! As long as you are doing something worthy, go ahead! Don't let people's ability to do better affect your dreams!"

    "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............"

    That's when "dreams" came into my mind.
    I used to believe I can be the most outstanding __(an ambition)__
    But now, looking at all the competition... and looking at the real world...
    I realised how difficult it is to be the best!
    You need to be more hardworking than anyone else.
    You need to be at least a bit of talent in it.
    You need TIME.
    Argh.
    However, through Daddy's talk... I realised it's true that we can't always compare ourselves.
    It's demoralising! We should look ahead. Believe in ourselves.
    AHAHAHA I SOUND SO PHILOSOPHICAL.

    Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, stay strong to your dreams!
    Don't let people affect you :)

    Teehee! Nights people! ^___^

    off to "dream"~! :P
