Hey Everyone,
Im new to the Theatre industry and was looking for some help. A friend of mine suggested this site.
Let me give you a bit of background info to help you out as much as possible. I am an AV Technician by trade and a friend of mine at college approached me and asked if I had access to the equipment required to do projections and if I would later run the equipment during the production of Rent. When I met with the production team they also found out I am an Assistant Director at the Colleges' Ice Area ( camera switching and replays for the jumbotron ).
To make a long story short I agreed to design the projection for the Musical, but I am not sure where to start. The only information I got from the scenic designer is that a screen is hung on both sides of the stage and from the director that she wants the Musical to have a rock concert kind of feel.
For simplicity lets just say both screens will project the same image/video. and It will all be video / still images / live camera and the equipment will not be an issue.
I am lost on what to do next. Can you help me out with suggestions for what to project?
Thanks!
