Lights, camera, dance

I love all the work that goes into producing live theatre, especially the lighting designs. I think that's why i notice the lights when catch the hit summer reality show So You Think You Can Dance. I think their lighting designers do a really nice job of differentiating each of the numbers and making the stage look as different as possible. So much so that i felt compelled to make this post at the risk of being mocked for admitting to watching the show. While subtle it not their style, i think they do a really good job of matching the lights to the mood of the piece plus they move with the music rather than staying static. I'm sure they have very little time to pull it all together. Boy would i love to help program that light board sometime.

Hey Matthew,

Nicole really loves that show. We don't watch a lot of TV, but we always manage to catch that show whenever its on. I've never noticed the lights, but you're right. They always make the stage look different. No mocking here :)
