Smoke is the Canvas for Light: Beams Need to Be Visible

The space is filled with a uniform thin mist, continuously released at a low volume by fog machines in the four corners of the ceiling. The concentration is low enough not to affect breathing or visibility, but sufficient to make every light beam visible in the air. Dozens of narrow light beams shoot down from the fixtures above, forming clear cones in the mist, varying in angle and intersecting, leaving moving light spots on the ground. Because the surrounding surfaces are all black, the edges of the light beams are extremely sharp. The air conditioning system is designed to allow the mist to circulate slowly in the space without being quickly drawn away. The image is shot from the edge of the dance floor, with people among the light beams. Avoid: fog so thick that people are invisible, light beams drawn as soft and diffused, reflective surfaces in the space that eliminate contrast, using colored thick smoke.

空間裡充滿均勻的薄霧,由天花四角的煙霧機持續低量釋放,濃度低到不影響呼吸與視線,但足以讓每一道光束在空氣中顯形。數十道窄光束從上方的燈具射下,在霧裡形成清晰的錐體,角度各異並交叉,在地面留下移動的光斑。因為周邊表面全黑,光束的邊界極銳利。空調系統經過設計,讓霧在空間裡緩慢循環而不被快速抽走。畫面從舞池邊緣拍攝,人在光束之間。避免:煙霧濃到看不見人、光束畫成柔和散開、空間表面反光讓對比消失、使用彩色的濃煙。
