Lighting
National TheatreLighting, special effects and video are used to create moments of stage magic. The choices a lighting designer makes about how a set and actors are lit have a major impact on the mood of a scene. The National Theatre's Lighting Department deploys everything from the humble parcan to complex automated lights.

Germany12 years ago - Excellent introduction to lighting
Nicely produced videos present an introductory review of theatrical lighting. The videos are vey short. With only ten episodes the information here is a good introduction rather than an in-depth study. The content has good production value and is interesting. Let's hope more videos are added with an in-depth look at the productions at the Nation Theatre.
