The application of stage lights in the reflection of stage water feature special effects

In stage water feature special effects, the application of light reflection from stage lights can create rich visual effects and enhance artistic expressiveness. The following is a detailed introduction:

The application of different lighting angles

When the brightness of the fountain itself is insufficient, light stands can be placed near the fountain for overall supplementary lighting or to enhance the light texture of the water. If it's just supplementary lighting, similar to the surface lighting on a stage, just spread the light evenly. To enhance the light texture of the water, it is necessary to use front lighting to illuminate the water column in sections according to the fountain's shape, making the entire water column look grand and imposing. For instance, in some large-scale musical fountain performances, the direct projection of light can make the fountain more eye-catching at night. Combined with the rhythm of the music, it creates a stunning visual effect.

Rear projection: This lighting Angle is generally used in large-scale single-view fountains. Laser lights or high-power lamps are often used to create a sense of depth and backlighting effects at different distances, making the entire picture more textured and three-dimensional, and increasing the visual spatial distance. Meanwhile, the color presented by the light passing through the water is more transparent, contrasting with the powdering color of the light at the center of the nozzle, enhancing the sense of reality and illusion. For instance, in the water feature performances of some theme parks, rear-projection lights can make the fountains blend in with the surrounding buildings and landscapes, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

Side projection: It is mostly used in single-view fountains. The light projected from the side mainly serves a decorative purpose, and it also has the effect of modifying the shape and changing the visual volume. The higher the side position, the less part is displayed, which can create a visual effect of floating in the air. From a single perspective, when side light cuts into the fountain from left to right, each illuminated section of the fountain water is connected together, just like a curtain of pearls lying across the air, faintly visible. In some small courtyard water features, side-projected lights can add a touch of agility and elegance to the fountain.

The application of different lamps

Imaging lights: They can project various clear light and shadow modeling effects. In water feature special effects, they can project specific patterns or light and shadow on the water surface according to the plot or performance requirements, such as flowers, animals, etc., adding interest and artistic sense to the water feature.

PAR lights: The light beams projected by smoke are more visible. In water feature special effects, they can be used to emit relatively fixed light beams, which can be combined with the water feature to create a unique light and shadow effect and enhance the visual impact of the performance.

Computer light: It integrates multiple dynamic lighting effects and can automatically change according to the program to complete command actions such as turning, color changing, focusing, and adjusting brightness. In water feature special effects, computer lights can adjust the color, Angle and brightness of the lights in real time according to the rhythm and plot of the performance, creating a rich and colorful dynamic light and shadow effect.

The reflection of light creates an atmosphere and expresses space

Creating atmosphere: Through the application of light, using light to create images, the stage plot, environmental space and other atmospheres are presented on stage props or stage landscape films. For instance, in water feature performances, the use of light reflection can create different water atmospheres such as the ocean and lakes, making the audience feel as if they were right there.

Reflecting stage hierarchy: The position of stage lighting plays a significant role in the emotions, physical signs of characters or the shape and color of the scenery. Using light to illuminate people or scenery from the front or side can make the stage picture appear more layered and varied. In water feature special effects, the reasonable use of light reflection can highlight the three-dimensional effect and texture of the water feature. Combined with the spatial sense required by the plot, it can jointly build the overall unity of the stage.

Expression and transformation space: In terms of expression space, lighting is superior to stage art. Through the contrast of light and shade, the distribution of light areas, and the construction of stage space, the stage images can be focused, highlighting the focal points, and guiding the audience to view the entire scene, distribution, or close-up like a lens. In water feature special effects, light reflection can achieve spatial transformation. For instance, in different performance scenes, by adjusting the Angle and color of the lights, the water feature can be transformed from a calm lake surface to surging waves.
