“The Big something vibe is big, vibrant and bright, so color changes played an important role in my design,” said Thibault of Life Is Art Studios. “A lot of times using a monochromatic look for a portion of a song helps me set that part of the music apart from the rest. Often, I will pick two-to-three colors for a song and drop between them in different ways, using one for a chorus and the others for refrains. Or, at certain times, I may use one color only to emphasize large hits. I will also build effects that are made up of each of these selected colors and use them as an added way to match the beat. Or, I’ll have them mark a change in tempo, while keeping the feel of the stage.”
