Light Up The Sky - Transition


In the first act of Light Up The Sky at the Paramount Theater for Emerson Stage, I used projections to subtly enhance the painted cloud mural hung upstage. This transition takes us from the first act in to the second act, several hours later in the play. Numerous archival sources were used to generate the content here. Our goal was to pay homage to the Colonial Theater in Boston, where the play takes place in 1948. The wallpaper pattern is a sample from the Colonial and serves as the basis of our backdrop for this act.

As You Like It - Transition from Court to Forest



I was unable to videotape this performance, so I re-composited my original Watchout sequence in After Effects to create this demo. The imagery projected onto the three screens takes the viewer from the Duke's court into the wintry forest.

Excerpts from Hecuba


For this show I used Dataton Watchout to create a multi-layered abstract digital backdrop which could reflect on the emotion of the play while also providing a scenographic background.
