Video projection at The Old Vic

Having worked with designer Ravi Deepres on the video original design ‘Jitney’ at the Leeds Playhouse it was great to get to adapt the projections for the run of shows at The Old Vic in South London. We worked with some lovely original black and white photographs from the period. Layering up the images using Photoshop and After Effects we were able to create some very effective animations. Fantastically atmospheric theatre and a great show!
