"STAGE" in light box letters?
silhouette of Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago, Gene Kelly, Chorus Line? Dancing across front or along the top.
We learned how to 3D words and set them in space last week. I 3D'd the words "STAGE" during class Wednesday. Sunday night, I added the light bulb effect and made the background black. My first thought was to have figures dancing in silhouette in front of the lights. I traced Judy Garland's iconic pose from the number "Get Happy" in white so I could see it against the black while I painted it. When it showed up on the screen, it looked like neon tubes. Which makes me think about Times Square in NYC and the mishmash of billboards and lights that make up the theatre district.

I added another marquee that says "screen" in gold. Traditional film marquee fonts have multiple ridges but I couldn't find the bevel tab. Of course, now that I've had a few hours to think about it, I REALLY REALLY want the multi-bevels on "screen. For now, I will keep what I've got and focus on making the neon lady glow. I can see that I'll have to thrown some light from the leg onto the back of "screen" so you can see that they're dimensional letters. Maybe not that thick, though.
I've added an ampersand between the words. I think "screen" needs to be wider to balance out the "stage" or else the sides need to be hit with highlights.
