Scenic Design, Lighting Design, and Projections by Matt Kizer

Posted on by Kizer

Lucky Stiff is fast-moving, ridiculous slapstick. It is a lot of fun. It moves really quickly. Our production benefited hugely from fast-changing scenery and immersive projections.

Original Storyboard:

This animation is from the preliminary design. It demonstrates some of the integration between projections and set changes that were planned.
The projections are on the cyc at midstage. The cyc flew out to above head-height, while the bed was pushed downstage beneath it.
We are pursuing the bold, high-contrast, and romanticized reality of these French Riviera postcards.
