4 hours of 4K video projection for the baroque opera 'Castor & Pollux' at Palais Garnier, Paris.
When the director - Peter Sellars - opted for a minimalist stage design, video designer - Alex MacInnis - came up with a mix of footage with views of urban Los Angeles and images of outer space to illustrate this modern production of baroque opera 'Castor & Pollux'.

A first for me - a Disguise media-server project with no video outputs! The amazing set for 'Macbeth Underworld', designed by Bruno de Lavenère, featured LED strips embedded into the floor and other on-stage elements, all moving on 4 revolves. The Disguise system was used to map different animated textures onto the LED fixtures using DMX pixel-mapping over ArtNet.

Video projections for Peter Grimes at Opera de Paris Garnier
After Madrid and London, a new production of Benjamin Britten's opera 'Peter Grimes', directed by Deborah Warner, arrived in Paris. I converted the existing project to the in-house Watchout system and adapted the projections to the stage at Garnier. Working with the video designer - Justin Nardella - we iterated on the designs of the video animations for the 6 musical interludes.

Back at Opéra Garnier, this time for the video projection in Alan Lucien Øyen's latest creation 'Cri de Coeur'.
The Watchout programming was very simple this time because most of the video is live from an on-stage camera. A UHD signal from a Sony Alpha-7 is transmitted using a Teradek wireless system, and masking for the different screen configurations is managed by an AnalogWay Pulse 4K.
