Stage, Set, and Lighting Design

A vintage chair for either the deck or office.

A vintage table that matches the chair.

I really like the contrast of blue and red. I might use orange light on deck (for candle light) and blue  for the night sky.

I like how the blue light creates a backdrop for a dark hulking figure.  I could use this for the metamorphosis, or for keeping Berenger in the dark.  

I LOVE this stage. I like the use of levels and space. Not only are the platforms used, but also the  floor.  This sort of idea will help me design my ship down to more detail.

This was for a play called Dracula, but I love the eeriness set of by the contrast of pink, red, and blue and the creeping layer of smoke on the floor. Smoke might be something I'll use for when people start turning into rhinoceroses.

I actually don't know why I added this photo. But I was told to add everything that catches my eye - so yeah.

Again, it's the lighting that attracts my attention to this photo. The  white light coming from behind creates a  cool shadow. I also love the blue on black. Somehow it reminds me of a rhinoceros.

This is the HMS Sirius - Captain Arthur Phillip.

Just a model of a ship I found. It is actually, very much like the ship I designed for my stage.

This is a really awesome stage. It is very small, but very versatile. Arthur Miller designed the lighting for this stage, for this play The Crucible.

The Crucible done by Strayer Wood Theatre. I love the burnt orange and browns. The dark dead tree in the background with the burnt orange back drop. The platforms in the back are also interesting.

I like the spotlights and the moon in the distance. I love how the tree's darkness in front of the blue.

I would like this honey coloured wood for the my ship. I would probably use pine wood though, because it's cheap, easy to break (for the end), easy to replace, and it is light. I admit, I HATE PINE, but with staining it should look nice.
