Lighting the Stage : A Lighting Designer's Experiences

Booknews

Approaching the subject from a human rather than a technical angle, the author considers the relationships between the people involved in lighting and how they fit into the creative team. "Lighting design is low on objective facts and high on debatable opinions," Reid writes, and so he presents his tips, pointers, and musings in an informal and personal style. He has left out photos because, he says, "stage lighting is so dynamic that moments of frozen stillness have little significance." Has a glossary but no index. Annotation c.
