Fascination With Lights

TomC
over 13 years ago

Hello,

 

My name is Tom and I have Autistic Spectrum Disorder. I currently study Experimental Film Production at Staffordshire University.

 

I am doing a short film about the beauty of lights and how mesmerizing they are. This is due to my personal obsession with lights, which with some research I see I am not alone in the Autism Community.

 

I was wondering if people have the same obsession / fascination as me, and if they have a particular favourite light?

 

Any answer could help me shape my research and how my film turns out in the end.

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Tom

    yes yes yes! I was just wondering if this was an ASD thing as I obsessively purchase retro MCM TV lamps & swag lights on ebay... I'm 34, nonbinary, assigned female at birth, and I am also a neon glass bender (extremely amateur). My house is FILLED TO THE BRIM with vintage lamps, neon signs, hanging lights, and old ceramic lights. I don't know what it is but they make me so incredibly happy. I am always complimented on my ability to make a space very warm and inviting -- lighting plays a huge role in that.

    I work with Movie Lighting now - and we still use a lot of very old gear, some manufactured in the 60s.
    It's quite sought after. I have some bits of my own - but it's all battered from years of being bashed about at locations!
