I chose this concentration because it only makes sense with what I do. Now I am trying to work on research and a dissertation topic.</p> <p>I have become fascinated with projection designs while researching the tech theater world. I did not know much about it until recently when I decided to make my theater and studio my laboratory. </p> <p>Our current show(going up tomorrow!), Scrooge, will be our first try at projection design. I researched a bit and experimented ALOT. We moved every light and have three projectors and screens to work with. Our show has 30 lighting cues and effect and 16 projections. Not bad for a first try...well...I will know how good or bad tomorrow! I am very nervous, I have 5 on tech crew and 60 in the cast...and it's just ME. It has been quite a challenge.</p> <p></p> <p>I would like to learn more about projection design and the best ways to use it. I would also like to meet other designers and find out if other teachers are using this technology in the high school setting.</p> <p>Any feedback would be appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Susan</p>
