Description

Within the first edition of A Practical Guide to Stage Lighting, Steve Shelley cracked open his production book and showed tips on how to prepare a lighting design and create the paperwork needed to mount a production.

In the second one edition, he pulled back the curtain and showed the methods and processes that go on before the light plot is finalized and in a position to go to into the shop, even coping with cutting the plot in half.

In this third edition, Shelley throws the door wide open and shows step by step tips on how to construct each and every lighting system Within the Hokey light plot. Combining his diacritical analysis, killer drafting, and analytic use of the Slinky Method and Slinky Calculations, he presents the Periodic Table of Fundamental Lighting Systems and shows the basic methods used to create multi-instrument lighting systems.

Highlights include:

* Over 100 new topics, including analysis and application of the three categories of collaboration; detailed examinations of production meetings, approaching production schedules and budgets; one-on-one meetings and checklists with management and the creative team.

* Over 50 new illustrations, including Shelley’s Periodic Table of Fundamental Lighting Systems — groundplans, sections, and front elevations that illustrate basic system wash configurations for each and every direction of light.

* Analysis, calculation, examples, and step by step technical construction of each and every lighting system Within the Hokey light plot.

* Detailed examination of techniques used to light backdrops, scrims, and translucencies Within the scenic stack.

* Explanation of a manufacturer’s cut sheet, and tips on how to apply basic formulas to resolve beam size, footcandle, and gel transmission for lighting instruments.
