something to be enthusiastic about, finally

[kaydeefalls]

My Lighting Design class is going to be all kinds of awesome. The prof is incredibly enthusiastic about lighting in an oddly low-key sort of way, and he's all about being blatantly honest and telling lots of stories and messing around with lights a lot instead of taking exams, and how our final assessment is to light a show and he hopes we all do terrible designs because then we'll be able to analyze them more interestingly and learn more from them and get higher marks. Gah. I signed up for this class because, as a director, I'm sick of feeling like an idiot when I talk to my lighting designer and I want to actually be able to talk intelligently about it. But this guy makes me want to BE an LD. So much coolness.

My other classes here so far have just been, well, classes. You know. Interesting enough, in their way, but nothing brilliant. So this is a huge improvement. Maybe I really will get something out of being here.

LDs absolutely RULE. The good ones are always people that you just can't help liking, because they really are just that cool.

YES THEY DO.

Oh, and he just happened to let slip that the first show he light designed in college (this college) for the university Players troupe? Included, in its cast, Liam Neeson. "We just thought he was this big guy..."
