Not what I expected Leah McCall I had to do a book report on this so I did. I thought it was going to be about Andi and reviewing his work, his process, and how he uses technology to enhance his designs. It was to an extent but was mostly a history lesson, a comparison to other designers, and a picture book. I liked it but It was was not what I expected. It was more of a coffee table book or easy reading on a flight.. rkr said Great photography, weak text. The book is really a compilation of short articles, some relevant, some I have no idea why they are included. However, if a picture tells a thousand words then this book is worth it. The photography of the lighting designs is incredible. The text after the first main article is just filler at best. Most of the text was pointless to me. Can we have a version with the first article and twice as many pictures? That would be worth twice as much.. "Amazing stage designs!" according to Didzis Bremze. Andy Watson is one amazing guy! He is genius in creating amazing and unique stage lighting. I really admire his style and the designs he has done all thru out the world. It was really great to see how each stage was built with detailed designs and descriptions. Any one who is interested in stage lighting and see how the top notch LD does his art work, must check out this book.
