Scenic Design, Lighting Design, and Projections by Matt Kizer

Posted on by Kizer

The design included a full-stage projection screen, lots of painted scenic elements, and heavy use of dance lighting and footlights.

We used two projectors blended on the cyclorama for media. There is a giant crab in the show. The director wanted an actor to control the crab as a shadow puppet. We needed to integrate the shadow play with the media – behind some elements, and in front of others. To accomodate the need as well as the dual-projector installation, we built this light table with a top-down camera. Anything on the table created a silhouette captured by the camera. The silhouettes were sent to the Dataton Watchout server and included as needed among the other media elements.
