Oh, Awkward...

I thought I might as well get a big head start on our production for next year, Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Well I started and I loved it at first. However, the more I look at it, the more I see something that I can't put my finger on. Whatever it may be though, I absolutely hate it. I have no idea what is wrong but something is just so WRONG.

I got the cool side lighting deal going on due to the fantasy of the show but something is hiding in the back of my mind that just bothers me enough to make me want to completely start over. I actually shouldn't be worrying about it as much as I am though because Mrs. Ogle hasn't even given me a set design so I don't know what I'm thinking. I made up a quick little set that slightly resembles out Les Mis set but with major differences/improvements. I think that might be what's bothering me. I have trouble doing both set and lighting. I did it for SAST and it wasn't really for me to be in charge of both sections. Which is odd because it was nice controlling both sides because set and lighting go so hand in hand with each other. I dont know. I'm very scatterbrained recently. I basically have no idea what I'm doing right now.,

That's all folks,

Well...

This is my least favorite time of the year. The musical has finished, SAST is over, and there's nothing to be done. I hate having idle hands. I have so much I could be doing but no reason for Mrs. Ogle to let me. However, it was recently announced that the show we will be doing next year will be... Wait for it... A Midsummer Night's Dream. While I hate the Shakespearean writing, I love the shows. I'm actually very excited for this lighting design because I am allowing myself to kind of go crazy. This is a comical fantasy type of show that we are setting in a 50's summer camp. Cool, I suppose. I don't exactly know how I'm going to approach this but I think it will look very cool. During auditions today, I looked at the application and a question on there was asking about the actor being afraid of heights. Two story set, maybe? I hope so, that would be incredible.

For Antigone, at the beginning of this year, I experimented with some side lighting and I LOVED the way it looked. Due to the surrealism of this show, I would like it to be very sidelight heavy. It looks so cool. Well, this is going to be my last post for awhile until something wildly fantastic happens.
