AI can draft multi-source shadow-puppetry light-rig plans, but the puppeteer must adjust intensity by hand to a real screen.
11 min · Reviewed 2026
The premise
AI can draft multi-source light-rig plans that define angle, distance, and color for shadow-puppet stagings.
What AI does well here
Generate light-source positioning tables relative to screen and puppet plane.
Draft color-gel suggestions that map to scene mood.
What AI cannot do
Adjust intensity to the actual screen and ambient light.
Replace eye-on-the-screen calibration during tech.
