Three C`s

Each weekend stories are being told in churches all over the world, and in each one of those rooms there is a wide spectrum of lighting needs from traditional lighting with a set look to fully programmed concert style light shows. No matter the style, the lighting is serving a purpose in the context it is operating in in order to make a connection between the word of God and the people. I want to break down how lighting plays a role in that process in three large pieces

• Context

• Not every design or element requires a full lighting rig with haze and 5 fixture types, additionally, a full lighting rig with haze and 5 fixture types needs to be moving and flashing all the time. Know the context and cater the look accordingly.

• Character

• Understanding the roles each fixture plays in telling the story can help establish your look as well as open the platform up to different styles and perspectives you may not have seen. Your brightest and biggest fixture doesn’t always need to take center stage, let the support roles lead every now and again.

• Connection

• Keep the main thing the main thing. Lighting supports the story, it helps connect pieces together to create a cohesive narrative.
