Another appreciation ask, but relating to real world application- I'm running lights for a local community theater show and I've been thinking a lot about your lessons and discussions of lighting on dark skin- one of our leads has dark skin and he looks GORGEOUS in the colored LED lights, but the moment he's in one of the stage's dark spots, we lose so much visibility of his facial acting. Since I'm running lights and paying attention to lighting, I caught this and brought it up to the show's director. Sadly we're a very small theater so we don't have the budget to eliminate the dark spots. So our choreographer, who is also a Black man, is going to help our Black lead avoid the stage's dark spots so we can see and appreciate his acting. All this to say, thank you for your lessons! Here's hoping he can go on to score many more lead roles after this! (And happy Black Boy Joy June!)
