Director Ben Shirinian approached me to assist him in creating some unique visuals for the Alcina Opera company for their upcoming new show. The idea was to shoot some of their dancers in such a way that they could be projected onto the backdrops during the actual live show. The opera company has always used large scale scenic paintings in their shows, this time they wanted to add elements of movement into these scenics in a way that only video projection could achieve. We worked closely with their scenic artist and creative director to determine how we would shoot the live elements and how they would be used on stage.
Dancers lay on the floor to form the shape of the moon.
Crazy video overlay of our live images blended with scenic paintings.
