- How does theatrical lighting shape the way an audience experiences a performance? How do designers use technology on stage to tell a story? Learn more about the hidden art of theatrical lighting design and the ways that light affects our everyday lives. With more than 80 designs to her credit, her work includes lighting for off-Broadway venues such as 59E59, ART Theaters, and La Mama Experimental Theatre Club, Utah collaborators Salt Lake Acting Company and SB Dance, and academic guest designs at Amherst College, Smith College, and Yale University.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
I used to be an LD. I always told people that if they noticed me I failed my job. Same for sound. I noticed the sound in this video.
This is basically a summary of Lighting Design 1010. Reminds me of my college days. Ahh, nostalgia! :)
Hi, what's your collage?
Interesting that this is about light and sound and the sound is like...er...well
i just muted it and used CC, i had to watch it for school
sound is very poor for a ted talk
It sounds like a room mic. This is often used as a backup in case the lav or headset mic recording is lost. There can be many pints of failure here, corrupted recording files, a bad cable but probably something very simple. Unfortunately with these types of events there is only chance to capture it which can be devastating, the irony here is the lighting tech triumphs on a spiked presentation which is something the audio engineer will not live without jokes made by their colleagues 😅
What happend Mr. Sound man??
Wow... never would have expected a Tedx on this!
Interresting content but the echo is disturbing.
It seems like there's only room ambiance mic in the sound mix.
It could be easier to focus on the subjet if you added the orator's mic in the mix and lowed the ambiance down (approx -20dB).
Have a good day
Also, what's up with the dimmer hum?
@OM Lighting Design The Auditorium needs some absorber plates, or maybe the PA is turned up too high? Having it too loud is extremely disturbinng for the speaker, hearing her voice delayed like that.
@OM Lighting Design I really wasn't complaining, just thinking out loud. yes delay speakers, adds reverb when you go off axis to a side at certain spots, as you would possibly be with a camera, but it still sounds like the speakers are cranked up too high. Tomorrow, I need to do a 1 hour shoot, with a wireless mic on the speaker and ambient sound from the internal mic in the camera, music is recorded by an assistant on a portable recorder. I imagine 50 things that will go wrong tomorrow, like the choreographed camera position shifts, where a stationary cellphone supplies the B-roll unattended!! and I still need to put up the stage front lights at 7 AM!! So please, just consider my ramblings an expression of nerves! Cheers.
@OM Lighting Design Interesting, I didn't know that. The auditorium I was referring to, has small 3ft tall line arrays, for speech each with 5 or 6 small fulltone speakers on the side walls . They are run in pairs and point diagonally towards the rear into the crowd, the furthest to the back pair has the longest delay. This system sounds decent if you are along the centerline in the room, but the sound becomes worse, like in this video, as you get closer to the wall. What you are referring to, is the right way to do it, like in a venue, and we have had professionally musicians hauling their own gear, including a single active line array, that also had a subwoofer in the bottom, and the sound was much better.
This video gave me a lot more respect for sound people than for lighting people.
why?
@@dawn8135 Because the clip's sound is totally messed up, using the wet room sound instead of the dry presenter mic?
True 😂
7:10 Bless you.
Got the lighting, but the audio is off…it’s always something
5:46 is usually how my stages end up looking
Lighting tech: Never thought I’d do that at a Ted talk
Video Tech: they’ll never notice my work either😅
Ideas
Guys, I need some professional advice from the combined visdom of UA-cam comments: I'm doing a setup in a church and the "stage" is in a dark absis without windows. However the rest of the church with the benches have tall windows. So far I've only put up a vertical row of 6500K LEDs on each side in the absis and I have good fill and color rendition playing nicely along with the large amount of natural light when the subjects are on the front of the stage, but everything looks flat as it is evenly illuminated. So my question is about a proper front wash? Do I use 6500K too, or do I go for warmer color? Also to the rear of the stage, there are some old Tungsten spotights for the background and they of course look somewhat yellow with my 6500K lamps, do I upgrade theese bulbs too, but maybe only to 5000K, to keep the somewhat warmer light to the back of the stage? It is a sensible church, so I'm not going for the "Hands in the air" rock concert look, but more like the "presenter" mood of this video. Do you have any advice?
Homogenize the stage lights and scenic lights at 5600k and any cameras should be white balanced according. This will allow your cameras to better render colors accurately. (better than if you did 4800k or Warner)
...Why care about the cameras? ...Because the cameras are the only thing that will remember it all.
Menarik, apakah nama yg kusebut disini. sudah nonton ini? Juli 2020 :)

Hi desert vista
Great lighting 101. Now let's work on audio 101 and learn how to mic a speaker.
Movement….doesn’t move. This certainly was a great concept, but tough to pull off on the road I assume.
Jeeeeezzzzzzzzzz how can the sound be sooo freaking baaaaadddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the tips, and more ❤🔥💭🌌🎭🎴
Sorry, seemed really interesting, couldn't get past the sound, uh... quality.
In the pic she shows its OBVIOUS its a cult meeting.
That’s the best audio u got? Yikes
Horrible sound that’s important to lol
sound not good
