7 examples of sets with stunning solutions to lighting design challenges

‘The Gong Show’

In creating the lighting design for “The Gong Show,” Jon Kusner was faced with the challenge of lighting a large space that needed to accommodate a variety of acts and formats. The result was a combination of dramatic theatrical-style lighting on the curtain along with integrated accent lighting behind the “gongs” mounted on the surround. In addition, lighting played a key role in the show’s feel and mood — making it possible to go from a warm, rich feeling to a bright and airy look with just a few lighting cue changes.
