This probably doesn’t deserve such a long post but i really wanted to talk about

the red lighting in all eyes on nigel

I think this is the only case that anything other than the plot made me really fall in love with a longform. Don’t get me wrong, the story is fantastic and everything from Luke’s naive newbie cop to Sam and AJ’s ride-or-die dynamic duo is such a joy to see. But just… the lighting. It feels like all the stars aligned just to create one of the most visually pleasing and appropriate atmosphere for any longform ever.

All eyes on Nigel is a crime thriller at heart. A menacing mastermind as the big bad, unsuccessful sting (sting) operations, our heros getting trapped in the belly of the beast. All of this is accentuated by the harsh red lighting. You can clearly see everything going on on stage, but the stark contrast between the actors’ generally black clothing and the glaring red curtains gives you the feeling that everybody is shrouded in darkness - like we’re under the streetlights in the middle of the night or squinting at a lone lightbulb in the deepest recesses of a villain’s lair.

It literally looks like a camera filter that only catches reds and blacks. Look at the way the red almost spills onto AJ’s shoulders, how their hair glows at the areas where they are thinnest… or in AJ’s case, a literal crimson halo.

But the greatest beneficiary of this setup is, of course, Luke. I’m not sure how much they coordinated their outfits with the lighting in mind but my god everything about his style in this show was absolutely perfect.

His blonde hair is completely dyed scarlet in the right angle, his glasses adds to the unnatural hues on his face. He actually looks ethereal in this particular photo. The way so much red highlights his profile also fits with how Nigel corrupts the clueless Andrew into basically a cocaine-snorting attack dog.

The best part, however, is his outfit: a green-tinged shirt and bright red trousers.

Green and red are complementary colours, meaning the highest colour contrast is achieved when they are used as backlights for each other. Every moment Luke was on camera I would stare at how the red stains the shirt fabric, the colour contract is mesmerising and reminds me of those amazing colour study paintings you see online.

The red trousers have the completly opposite effect - the red lighting is completely reflected into our eyes, making the trousers the brightest piece of clothing and draws our eyes towards it. Probably coincidental, but with the significance it plays in the final scene, it was the perfect choice for this play.

I have no idea how I managed to write this much about a lighting choice but the artist trapped in my brain demanded this post to be made. If you’re still here, thank you, have a funny Tom screenshot I stumbled upon while collecting resources

(They’re the same picture)

Felt the need to share this excellent comment on All Eyes On Nigel

Well here's my obligatory lgbt headcanons post I make everytime I enter a new fandom- Now because SFTH has an ever-expanding character list, I'm just gonna make a post (maybe 2) about the characters I like most and am most familiar with. Some are straightforward, some I have specific thoughts to add.

Amanda - Lesbian (ofc)

Clarissa - Bisexual

Derek - Bisexual, probably with a male preference

Titch - Gay

Bubba - Gay

Jeremiah - Gay

Donnie - Donnie is the culmination of Luke's transmasc energy, ofc he's a trans man. He's also gay, idk where those vibes are coming from exactly, but just trust me on this one-

Frankie - Pansexual

Xavier (OMGITAJ) - I have no idea, but I'm telling you right now he's not straight, so somewhere under the multisexual umbrella. I'd just say he's queer/unlabeled

Big Hans - Gay

Sara - Bisexual

Andrew (All Eyes on Nigel) - Aroace. I like to imagine that one scene happening and when Nigel pushes the hair out of his face and says "this isn't sexy", Andrew's just like "?? I didn't think it was??"

new sfth play thumbnails i love you

OMG Is This A Joke/All Eyes On Nigel - Great editing, looks so much cooler - put these together cause it's the same type of thumbnail with all of them from different points in the play

Beetroots and Murder - OMG I love it!!! This looks so cool, what a glow up! New favourite thumbnail

Inside the Mysterious Cube - love it, but has the same vibes as putting the end of the thirsty vamps sketch in the "coming up" segment lol

Marigolds, Bluebells and Hugh/Wild, Wet and Worrisome/The Unrelenting Aubergine - nice little additions there, mostly the same but with a bit more *va-va-voom*
