I made videos that were projected in a dance piece directed by Collin Monaghan. It had dance, projections, lighting, and a music score he wrote. I only touched QLab in a small way, like baby steps, but I learned a lot about layering cues and timing things with the performance. One fun challenge was making a video of a heart that looks like it’s beating, using Premiere and masking. Collin is also a musician, so I had to explain my ideas carefully and sometimes rethink things to match his creative mind. It definitely pushed me outside of my comfort zone creatively and also practically. I animated a starry night inside a drawing he did (looks like a leaf or drop), and I perfected the background and masking in Photoshop.

An entire summary of all the content I had created trough the semester between shows and content for class. The experience was super immersive from the moment you step into the place. It had 2 projectors, Optoma was pointing to the wall and a micro projector to a model house I made for a paper show "Heidi Chronicles". "Heidi Chronicles": I worked as a video technician programming visuals created by Ryan Belock for a performance in the Blackbox Theatre, directed by Collin Vorbeck. This was my first time doing professional mapping, using three projectors—front, right, and left—to make an immersive environment. I learned how to create stages in QLab, manage cue order, use fades and masks, and blend videos and images. Witnessing the outcome live was incredible and really helped me connect what I know from film to theatre. Seeing how much I have grown in a semester gave me more confidence working with projections and in professional setups.

PAЯALYSIS A multimedia experience and adaptation of Paralysis by Kyle Smith Cinemotography and Direction by Sofia Bilbao Bardier Music: Afuera by Ivana Rodriguez y los Imaginarios Y es que todos se sienten solos (“And it’s that everyone is lonely”) En una mancha azul de ruido (“In a blue patch of noise”) No hay silencio, solo hay guerra (“There’s no silence, there’s only war”) Se ve tan pacífico desde afuera (“It looks so peaceful from the outside”) Tenés mucho miedo de esperar (“You’re too afraid to wait”) A un futuro incierto no podés escapar (“To an uncertain future you can’t escape”) Y siempre hay alguien detrás de un escritorio (“And there’s always someone behind a desk”) Decidiendo por vos (“Deciding for you”) Cast: Joy and “The Angler”… Juan David Martinez Zayas Lilly … Rocio Chamorro Director’s Notes: An adaptation of Kyle Smith’s Paralysis, this psychological horror drama begins with an interactive Instagram profile (at @the_redroom_diary) that documents the story of Joy, a thirty-something old man trapped in his apartment, battling sleep paralysis, agony, and the ominous presence of The Angler. As boundaries between dreams and reality become loose, nightmares spill into Joy’s waking life, forcing him to have no choice but to face his nightmares and make a life-defining choice–resist or surrender to the darkness. The play culminates in the Inge Theatre at Murphy Hall with a performance that incorporates digital video elements. Created in Lawrence, KS, U.S.A.
