Hour 17

I started hour 17 by going to my mentor's class at Skyline College.  I learned a lot of interesting things from this class.  One thing I learned was all the different ways to use gobos.  A gobo is a piece of thin metal that has a image cut into it.  You can put these into lights to project the image onto whatever you want.  but there is a down side to gobos, because they are made out of thin metal the heat from the lights will burn them over time.  You also have limited options when it come to coloring them.  Another thing you could use would be a lithograph which is made out of glass so the image is already in full color.  During the class I also learned about things like lighting angles and throw, which helps you judge where to put a gobo so it is the right size and shape.
