Week 4 Tales of the Twitter


Last week there was this really cool event (if you're a nerd like me that is.) that was being hosted locally, so I decided to check it out. The series of events that lead up to this specific event, like all fun stories (and apparently now some of our foreign policy) began with some Twitter bickering. Two of the main voice actors for a a long running show that I grew up with called Dragon Ball Z, got into an argument about whose respective character was better. Naturally like two grown men in their 50's would do, they challenged each other to settle things in a video game of their own series that was luckily being released in a few weeks. So news of the promotional event spread, and it became a gigantic thing, that would be hosted here in Santa Ana and live streamed to hundreds of thousands of people. The event itself was densely packed with people, with the venue being lit with blues and some reds as well. I noticed that while those two colors were used to light a majority of the place, white light was only ever used if it was something that needed the focused pulled to it with the stage being the most obvious thing to focus in on. But some other things that were lit with white as well were things like exits, and restroom locations, which looking back on was an intentional decision to make these things easy to locate, something I wouldn't have noticed before. I definitely had a lot of fun seeing two great voice actors get involved with their fans by putting on a really fun amazing free event. There was also a themed bar, and a bunch of free things that were giving out, so definitely a plus there as well.

  1. Week 6, not week 4. Yes, red/blue to create atmosphere and white/no color to create focus.
    Glad you are noticing these details :)
