Day Four, the last one

Today was the last day of the lighting course, it was much more relaxed and calm than the other days. The course went like this, first we had some guest speakers come in and discussed their experience and how they got involved in lighting. Both had gotten involved in lighting by chance and were much more of "lets see were this goes" types. Never the less, their input on different lighting techniques, the use of gels and programming lights were very valuable. Then the course went on to were we broke up into 4 groups and while one group went up to program a short sequence of lighting ques, the rest stayed in the theater. My group was the last to go, so for the time i was down in the theater i had an interesting conversation with one of the guest speakers about his experience in lighting musicals. I plan on applying that to my school's musical. I also had a very interesting conversation about networking, but that is unrelated to the course. When my groups turn came around, we programmed a short sequence on creating two pools of light, to display different sides to a character. At the end of the course, we send our goodbyes and i personally thanked Gautam (the workshop leader) on his effort. I really enjoyed the course and am looking forward to doing more courses in the future.
