Was a great challenge on Bright Lights Big City to incorporate three projectors , the theory was there but the practice of rigging two above the set proved a little trickier. A lot learned and to be carried forwards but loved the creativity it allowed me especially in the final scene, where my design was to be the feature as the lead character Michael begins to type and reflect on his journey.Working in what is quickly becoming one of my favourite software’s Adobe’s powerful After Effects, I created and animated word drop with a fabulous typeface I discovered AlbertSthal Typewriter. The director Graham gave me the freedom to develop the concept, seeing it for the first time in tech was nerve wracking ! with a little tweak on timing working with my assistant 1st year LIPA TPT student Matthew Wane we ran it again and it worked in perfect timing with the final number. We ran the footage in slightly different sizes and positions through the two Panasonic projectors over the set and a Christie positioned front of house to cover the floor and frontal aspects of the set.
