Ellipsoidal Reflector Spotlight <3 (BLOG 3) 


My favorite piece of technology is the ellipsoidal, a stage lighting tool. This spotlight is my favorite for being very versatile in the light it transmits. The ellipsoid is a focus using mirror optics on a barrel / cylinder (focus body) through a lens or a lens train. The ellipsoid is famous for having the ability to handle the beam of light, making it softer or harder when the lens train moves. Also another important function of the spotlight is that the light beam can be cut because the spotlight has knives or edges, allowing to form figures with light. You can also put a gobo on it, since it has a horseshoe to position this type of artifact.


The ellipsoidal ones are divided into monofocals and bifocals:

- The monofocal ellipsoids, (only 1 lens) are fixed angle foci. These can be out of focus and focus the light, keeping the same focus angle aperture. There are 10º, 19º 26º 36º 50º 70º and 90º.

- The bifocal ellipsoids or ZOOM, you can modify the angles of the light beam, reducing or enlarging as needed by the room technician, due to the fact that they have the lenses. Also the beam of light can be concentrated or defocused. These foci vary their angles from 20º - 40º, 15º - 30º, 25º-50º and 30º - 60º.



This device does not affect my daily life, but it does manage to solve lighting problems that previously required more clothing. Everything in a single focus. I recommend using it because it allows you to make things more interesting on stage. Do not use without having a minimum knowledge of stage lighting.

31 MINUTOS, THE BEST SERIE

Imagen
The television series that I like the most, since I was a child, is "31 minutos", broadcast on national television (TVN). I really like this series because it mixes the best of two worlds, theater and television. I really like animal puppets. Also, I think the idea of a puppet led newscast is very good.   This series was broadcast during my childhood, and is considered quality television, due to its educational nature, without losing its comedy essence. Something that always caught my attention were the ingenious solutions that the program had. If they had to generate a new character for the program, they solved it with things they found in the warehouses of the television channel, they gave him a funny actor's voice, done, a new character had been created.   When I entered the university, I was able to have classes with the "31 minutos" designers. I had the opportunity to meet the creators of the dolls and the sets. There I was able to confirm what was said in ...

Blog 2: Fonda Permanente

 Fonda Permanente The best music festival I have been to has been the celebration of the national festivities of “La Fonda Permanente” at the Santiago Hippodrome during September 2017 and 2018. In this festival there were 2 stages with different Chilean and Latin American artists singing during 3 days until very late at night. This was like a classic “Fonda” from the production company Fonda Permanente. On both occasions I saw many Chilean cumbia artists, Villa Cariño, Guachupe, Santa Feria, American Sound, Chico Trujillo as well as national Rap artists such as Ana Tijux, Chystemc, Tiro de Gracias. In 2018, I saw the late Zalo Reyes live in concert. During the event everything was a party, dance, cueca and revelry. The event was authorized to sell alcoholic beverages, added that it was September 18, there was a party atmosphere, friendship among other things. I had a lot of fun because, in a very short time, I was able to see artists that I really like on stage. I was also able to ...

Blog 3: specialization in scenic design

Theatrical design career is one of a kind. It is the only race of its kind in Chile and Latin America. In 5 years, the 5 trades that make up the discipline are studied. This career has no one to compare itself with in Chile since there are no other schools that teach it. Theatrical design is made up of 5 trades that are the basis of the formation of the national theatrical/scenic designer. Costume designers, illuminators, set designers, make-up artists and stagehands or stage technicians.  The university doesn't allow specialization in any of these areas, but appeals to all students to learn all trades in order to access the academic degree. This last point has been the subject of debate in recent years, since there is an important part of the students and academics who believe that it would be good if specialization were allowed, since, during the 5 years that the degree lasts, it is not time enough to investigate, practice. By allowing specialization, it will also not be allowed ...
