'Arena' Contemporary Dance Project at Opera de Paris

Watchout video playback and video equipment setup for 'Arena', a contemporary ballet created for the Opéra National de Paris.

The show used a mix of live cameras and prerecorded footage projected onto 3 elements of the set. The live cameras, following the dancers on stage, used a mix of Teradek Bolt wireless transmitters and Wifi to receive SDI, HDMI and NDI signals, which were converted & distributed to both a live camera switcher and the Watchout media server.

As well as the technical setup - cabling and schematics - I prepared 3D mapping templates for content delivery for the different scenery elements employed as projection surfaces.
