Gobos and Texture

Lighting designer James Davis created this effect for a production of The Tempest by experimenting with various glass gobos. This particular mystical light effect was created with Rosco's ColorWave #33103 Magenta Ripple, in a spinning gobo rotator. The warm, seemingly sparkling hues in this are a stunning contrast to the deep blues around it. In this particular still, the effect looks to be moving, and perhaps originating from the actor's outstretched hand. It has the feeling of magic, which was the desired effect.
