Cleveland,Barreu M. (2003) Tech Expo Illuminating a Production with Digital Multimedia
Summary
JudyBejarano talks about how different theatrical lighting instruments give out different dimming colrs. She talks aboujt how the (LCD) the Liquid Crystal Display can only reflect a gray color when the dimmer is turned off. She stated that their were different projects that gsave out diffrent reflections of light or sound. Therefore, she also stated how she discovered how she could use digital multimedia to create images and sounbd by using software like MicroSoft Word 2007. She stated that with Microsoft Word 2007 she lea5rned that she was able to transfer sygnals from the sound control panel and the lighting control panel onto the stage through the DMX 512 sytem to transfer several sygnals for every cue when the certain lights or sound was supposed to occur during speceific scenes. Judy also illustrated in the article about how different wires and connections zoomed through different cercuits to actovate the special effects.
Reflection
This article reminded me about important technicle words and programs from a lighting design class that I took a few years back. I was reminded about the term DMX which is kind of like a transformer that controls how information is transfered from all the control panels in a theatre. This article also reminded me of Computer programs like Microsoft Word or WYSIWYG that are used to better show how a scenary plot or lighting plot will look like befroe it is all put together. I was amazed to find out how important Microsoft Word and MicroSoft Power Point and WYSIWYG are to the learning envirnment.
