Three development trends of the stage and studio lighting industry in recent years

When mastering new trends in stage and studio lighting development is one of the courses required by stage lighting engineers. Only by correctly and accurately grasping the new development trend, can the stage lighting be better and more satisfying. VanGaa lighting can provide very professional stage and studio lighting fixtures. 

So, what is the necessary content of the new trend of stage lighting development? According to the author's modest opinion, this new trend mainly has the following points, which will be discussed below.

1. From singularity to diversification

One of the development trends of stage lighting is to change from singularity to diversification. In the past, stage lighting, often referred to as "stage lighting", had distinctly exotic properties. In the future, stage lighting will have a diversified development trend.

The 21st century is an era of diversification. Political multi-polarization, economics and trade multilateralization determine cultural diversity on a global scale. Cultural diversity directly determines the diversification of stage lighting and the diversified development of stage lighting. A trend has begun to form.

One is the tight integration of lighting and scenery, props, costumes, makeup, and sound effects to create a diverse and complex effect. Sometimes there are "scenes" and sometimes "light effects". Lights are everywhere, and there are diverse positives everywhere. For example, the "Light Cube" used in the military parades and mass parades in Tiananmen Square to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is a trinity complex of lights, scenery and props.

Second, stage and studio light itself has changed from a single light element to a composite of multiple elements, integrating sound, light, chemistry and electricity. For example, strobe lights and voice-controlled lights are typical representatives.

The third is the diversification of stage lighting design itself. Another example is the "transformation" of stage lighting for a TV show, divided into three distinct lighting zones to create three different stage environments: a modern urban night scene, thousands of lights and neon lights, and dilapidated old buildings. It shows historical memory; the visual clash of old and new lamps alternates...etc. It can be seen that the transition from singularity to diversification has indeed become one of the new trends in the development of stage lighting.

2. The transition from passive to active

The new development trend in second stage lighting is the transition from passive to active.

In the past, stage lighting was often overemphasized "to create a sense of space and time within the stage environment, to render the atmosphere of the stage, to accentuate core figures, and to provide lighting effects (such as running clouds, rain, water waves, lightning), etc." stage performances. Status of the service. What's more, it only emphasizes the role of lighting: "Another main task of stage lighting is general stage lighting during the performance, so it is also called "shame"."

In addition to the function of performance in the past service stage, the current stage lighting emphasizes the function of lighting itself, emphasizing the creation and creativity of lighting, so stage lighting plays a role in deepening the theme, creating style and architectural branding. Waiting for more and more artistic effects.

Initiative is short for "subjective initiative", also known as "conscious initiative". It originally refers to "a human initiative to understand and change the world in practice. It is the characteristic that distinguishes animals. It includes cognitive initiative and practice. Initiative has two aspects, of which the initiative of practice is the most basic." Borrowing The phrase here emphasizes the initiative, creativity and pioneering of stage lighting.

There are many convincing examples in this regard. For example, lighting fully demonstrated its initiative in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It makes one feel: there are only unexpected things, not without lights. It can be seen that the transition from passive to active is also one of the new trends in the development of stage lighting.

3. Transition from static to dynamic

A new trend in stage lighting development in the third stage is the transition from static to dynamic.

In the past, stage lighting was often static, and even if it changed slightly, it was only reflected in luminance, chromaticity, and position.

The current stage lighting is mainly a flexible and changing state. On stage, and the various light patterns made by the lighting are also intertwined and colorful. The dynamic effects of stage lighting can be seen everywhere. It can be said that the stage lighting itself constitutes the intelligent art world.
