We have been fortunate to work with Curve Theatre over the last few months, producing video content for their upcoming show The Wizard of Oz.
At Crosscut, we’re used to working with theatres in a variety of roles. We quite often produce promotional material for the shows, and content for online. This, however, is one of the first times that we’ve actually worked collaboratively with the design team of a show, to create assets that are going to be used as part of the production. As such, it’s a really exciting thing for us as a company to be doing!
The show involves a lot of projection on stage, so these assets will help tell the story of The Wizard of Oz – alongside obviously the cast and the rest of the set design. We worked closely with both the director of the show, Nikolai Foster and the projection designer, Douglas O’Connell. This shoot involves working with a lot of the cast from The Wizard of Oz, and shooting them in front of a large green screen; which we built inside one of the rehearsal rooms inside of the theatre. On set we used a couple of cameras. We had our Canon C200 on a tripod , and our Digitalfoto Thanos Pro II & Zhiyun Crane 3s Steadicam also flying a C200, to ensure that we got a good variety of shots. All of the footage was then taken by Douglas to be composited with CGI elements, to create lots of assets and projections which will be used as part of the show!
If you haven’t done so already, check out our BTS from the shoot!
