In this live Scooby Doo performance, the director uses lighting to focus the audiences attention on Scooby in the middle. The interesting thing is how they also use lighting on the other four to draw attention to Scooby by making the outer two characters the least lit and the two characters behind but next to Scooby a bit brighter. This gradient of lighting draws the audience's attention more naturally to Scooby than just a spotlight.

I think the use of bright colors to draw your eye to the middle was done really well here. It was interesting to see them use the other characters as a way to draw the focus towards Scooby. The white spotlight is one of the most effective ways to direct attention and I like how that was combined with colored lights to still focus on Scooby.
