Finn Ross Video Design

The Gods Weep, by Dennis Kelly, has opened at the Hampstead Theatre as part of the RSC's new writing season. Ian Galloway , a long time colleague at Mesmer , and I co-designed the show. The projection surface was a 13m wide, 5 m high concrete swoop, over which we projected many things over the three hours of the play. Our main focus was creating a living conscious on the wall looking down on the actors, acting as a subtextual expression of the undercurrents in the play.

Knight Crew has opened at Glyndebourne Opera House, to 4 star reviews, many of which mentioned the use of projection in the show. Pictures and links below: Guardian Gramophone And as much as Gramophone muddled my name and that of the movement director it is very nice to see such a traditional journal warming to the use of projection in Opera. One of the major challenges for the show was filming two of the singers underwater, for the overture, told almost entirely in video and for the big love aria towards the ends of the first part. I spent a day at The Studio in Clapham working with my colleague at Mesmer, Dick Straker , using a Sony EX-3 in a Aquaflex housing to get the camera to where ever we wanted it to be in the tank.
