THANK GOD we had our color theory lecture this week. I have been struggling with color in my design, and the lecture definitely cleared things up for me. I received many pointers on face lighting, the ashy blues vs. lavenders, and how dimming them will look on a person. I have been so stressed about my design that I completely forgot about the effects of lower intensity. I also had not thought about costumes and blending issues. I relearned many things that will now hopefully stick into my memory (third time should be a charm, right?). I had forgotten how our eyes receive green at first, and it makes us uncomfortable.
I was also thankful for our lecture because it engrained terms into my brain: hue, (a)chromatic, chromaticity, saturation, brightness/value, subtractive, additive, Kv temp, transmission, exposure...
Now I feel smart.
I took all of this information and met with my mentor. I had to change most of my colors, I had the idea of how I wanted it to look, it was just difficult for me to execute colors and angles. Thankfully my mentor was on the same page as my brain and she helped clear things up! Now I am super excited to do this!
Here we have Lonnie looking like a rock star:
So glad it helped and I am so looking forward to your DCP!
