The band's summer: lighting
Compared with the evening party and other activities, variety shows can give more sufficient time for lighting creation. The time for pre-preparation, rehearsal and arrangement is relatively abundant. Only in this way can many ideas of lighting be fulfilled.

As the lighting design director of Le Xia, Lu Xiaowei also admitted that he was particularly grateful to the director group for fully trust the lighting division and giving him enough space to create, so that he had the honor to put a lot of his ideas to good use.

Lighting Design Director Lu Xiaowei

Lighting design idea
The lighting design idea of Le Xia is summed up as three points: pure, retro and expand space.
Purity: it is the acme, only the pure can achieve the acme.
Restore ancient ways: popular is a cycle, a lot of low color temperature lamps and lanterns were used when doing Le Xia, let lamplight design return to restore ancient ways the concept.
Expand space: the three-dimensional space into the thinking space, from the real space to expand an emotional space.

On the basis of "light, band oriented", these three points run through the whole process of lighting creation of Le Xia. The author will explain the whole process one by one below.
The lighting creation of Le Xia can not be completed by one person, but needs the cooperation between teams. A good lighting team is composed of several lighting personnel responsible for different plates. The lighting design directors of Le Xia are Tian Weijun and Lu Xiaowei. Chen Fei, Tian Dawei, Yu Yimiao as the lighting design; Sun Lulu works as a laser designer. Everyone does his or her job and tries his or her best to complete each light creation.
Le Xia's light creation process can be summed up in two words: not easy!


Since the first issue, the lighting team has had its own insistence -- constantly overturning its original design and innovating according to the uniqueness of each band and song. As a result, many of the lighting effects in Rexia are basically used once and then gone.

In addition, the lighting man insisted that the ground be covered with barbed wire:
1. Barbed wire is more in line with the tone of the band (although it can not be shot, but the details should be in place)
2. The barbed wire minimizes the band's ability to hop on it.
3. Most importantly, a large number of light beams can be installed under the wire.
As mentioned in the previous article, a large number of light beams are installed at the top and bottom of the stage of Le Xia, and the light beams at the bottom are penetrated to the stage through the barbed wire. The beam from the bottom has a completely different effect and is much more penetrating than the light from the top down. Next, the light of top and bottom cross movement, give a person the sense of space is more intense.
For example, Ruling Sculpture Right Hailing Drums only uses beam lights throughout the song, and a large number of ground beam lights are used as cue, interspersed with the light ray effect of ground beam lights and side beam lights.


In addition, lighting also seeks a sense of mystery and reality in the design:
You can't see the light points and lamps, so it will be better to find some unique angles to use the light.


"No matter how many times listen to music, according to the music finished offline, to the scene to finish the program. As soon as the band plays and you watch them rehearsing, you get more ideas in your head!"
When the band was rehearsing, Lu Xiaowei was affected by the serious state of the band and the live atmosphere brought by the music tracks in real time, so he had the idea of the zero-time effect. This is also what he insists on. Don't be solidified by original ideas. If you can achieve better results, you should make bold attempts.


The same stage can bring visual fatigue to the audience. In order to constantly give the audience a sense of freshness, in the process of creation, the local lighting layout has been modified for many times. In order to meet the mood that some songs want, some special lamps and lanterns were specially customized. In addition, a large number of prop lights were used to complete the creation.
Su Yunying's right to reshape the statue "At MoSP Here" used the downlight to make 5 circles and match the light beam to make cue. For example, the position of the five circles is not in the same horizontal plane. Instead, the top two circles are hung near the band, and the remaining three are installed on the background light frame, so as to enhance the depth of the stage. In order to highlight the structure and outline of the five circles, a set of lights were used to hit the light effect on the circles in a backshot form.


Details were also done on the outer perimeter of the circle, using a small beam to create a halo effect.
Lighting in the design and programming time to do a lot of details of the work, some of the effect is in the past some variety shows dare not use the way, here made a bold attempt. For example, big wave fu lu shou "sister you boldly go forward" in the prelude to highlight the characters with strong backlight means, while ignoring the existence of the surface light.


Big Wave's songs have a lot of electro-acoustic elements, so they use a lot of laser elements to complement them. And in the laser when all backlight, fixed point light are used in the cutting way, do not enter the laser range, keep the picture clean.

Lighting was designed and programmed with the overall composition in mind. The layout of the lights has a sense of hierarchy, so that the lights can be used to divide the stage space, so that the three-dimensional stage into a four-dimensional space.

The success of the musical summer cannot be separated from the joint efforts of the director group, stage design, lighting design, visual design, sound design and so on, as well as the cooperation and creation of the band.

It's a long run-in from start to finish. Only when you are familiar with the band can you know their preferences and needs, so as to make a better effect.

"Five people, for example, were so pissed off at the initial song swap that they lost all their programming. Slowly contact for a long time, you will find that their kind of casual is also one of the reasons I like them. It went really well and we became friends to drink with."
