Affixing Lighting to Moving Scenery

Don Holder, LD for the Broadway play, The Motherf**ker with the Hat, says he has learned that whenever he deals with moving parts and scenery in transition, the most effective approach is to utilize sources that move with the turntable, or whatever is in motion. “In every transition, there’s a lot of light mounted on scenery that activates the space while it’s in motion, and that was a conscious choice…There’s lighting built into the scenery all over the place to make these spaces full and give them personality and help with the transitions.”
