Pre-show “attention” video


In collaborated with the Director and Sound Designer we set out to develop an attention-grabbing introduction video to engage the audience in, what typically is, the pre-show announcement. We wanted to start the video off with a video stinger, grabbing the attention of the audience. This stinger not only introdced one of the main characters of the story, J Prince, but also helped develop the backstory of Hip-Hop Hollywood. Following the stinger, is a bold and stylized approach to safety and regulatory information.

Nosakhere Cash-O'Bannon

Opening Video


This video was created as the opening imagery montage that sets us in the style and environment of the play. It was important to the design team that this video revolved around Cinderella's passion, incorporating images that are evocative of her persona.

 

Videoography Example


This video was used as part of a TV channel segment that Cinderella uses as a decoy to dissapear during J Prince's JAM. This was recorded live in The Theatre School's library.

Santa's Workshop


This video showcases the projection mapping of Santa's Workshop. As the Projection Designer, I collaborated with the other members of the design team to craft and create each of the many location throughout the story.

The scenic design consisted of 5 +27' high towers designed to look like building blocks. While 4 tower were stationary, the center tower was rigger to spilt in the middle and track off stage to reveal the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

This projection consisted of over 300 different elements, both static and animated to create the overall look and feel of the workshop.
