Support Creativity - Set Anatomy

One of my favorite blogs right now is Support. Creativity. with Benjamin James (BJ) Hunt. BJ is the Lighting and Scenic Director at Browns Bridge Community Church in North Atlanta (one of the North Point Community Church satellite campuses).

I would consider BJ and the team at BBCC to be very innovative when it comes to set design and lighting. I have several of their set pics from a few other blogs on my office wall and on my mac, which I review on occasion. Their sets, colors, textures, and layouts are inspiring.

Some don't realize, and maybe take for granted, how big an impact an artistic set can have on the mood and atmosphere of an environment. A set that complements the message you want to convey helps people engage in a way that increases what is retained.... people will remember more, longer.

Nearly every person has learned something visually but 60-65% of people learn best through visual learning - pictures, media, video, art, illustrations, etc. Interesting to think about how much you could impact someone with your message through visual cues and media.

Anyway, BJ has a great blog post on his site called the The Anatomy of a Set. He's got some great insight into the artistic realm of set design including color, light and texture.

Peace.
