Blog #2: Concert at the Staples Center

This weekend I went to Kelly Clarkson's concert at the Staples Center and noticed something very interesting about the lighting and projection combined. The projections and lighting from the audience were very deceiving in a way that it made the letters and shapes in all of the images in the projection look to be 3-D and real. So much in fact that a few times I found myself questioning if they were pulling those pieces in and out but that thought was taken out when they quickly changed those shapes between each other. This was one event that really made me think and see how light truly can affect an experience and a performance in this case. This event will now make me wonder and pay even closer attention in my future in theatre and life events in how lighting can affect the vision and effects. -Mikayla Slepicoff
