Whilst experimenting with lighting, I decided to try strobe lights to see if I could add more movement in my piece by a way of lighting.
Fast and Slow
The strobe lights could be configured in a way that changes the speed of the flashing light. The strobe light would change speeds from a fast to a slow pace, but both speeds remained consistent.
Because of the consistent speed, the lights seemed too artificial to be added into the exhibition, no matter how fast or slow it was. However, when the light was on the creature's face it cast a light behind the cut out, making it appear much more menacing when the light flashed on. Due to the flashing, it also made it appear that the creatures was moving in and out of view.
Both
To try and make it seem more natural, I decided to try two strobe lights of varying speeds, which hit different parts of the exhibition and made it seem more like lightning was hitting the character and creature.
While this made it less static like having just one strobe light, the light pattern was still too consistent and predictable so it didn't seem natural enough to be used in my exhibition. As well as this, the environment for the battle was inside of a cave which meant the light would not be appropriate for the battle scene.
