VIDEO PROJECT FOR THEATRE PLAY

VIDEO TO BE USED ON STAGE

VIDEO TO BE USED ON STAGE

Got involved with a theatre nearby Old Street and was asked to conceive video to be part of a play.

I originally designed it so that video would be an intrinsic part of the experience, alternating wtih 3 screens to be used individually or as a group. The idea was also to use the screens as Chinese shadow puppetry. 

The pictures below show the studies for the use of video and with the play in mind.

However, due to the constant change of directors, and financial difficulties, the designs were ditched and, at the last minute,  i was asked instead to do a video segment for the end of the play. you can see the video link below.

CONCEPT IMAGES

The project as it was being conceived, used projected stock video and real-time footage taken from the characters, as well as using the projectors as a source of light for the actors shadows.

VIDEO

As mentioned above, change of circumstances meant that I was asked to make a very different video from the one originally conceived. The result is below.
