notes:

Director, Jeffrey Travis, approached me about lighting and lensing this music.  He presented his concept of a "Goldilocks" character drifting through a house on a stormy night and, at times, within the same space as the band.  He wanted moonlight and lightning playing across the talent.  To Jeffrey's vision I offered the addition of shears on windows and hanging amongst the band to catch those patterns of light passing through the room.  Finally, Jeffrey added a data projector throwing various arcane symbols through the room as additional texture.

camera – Canon XL-2, Porta-jib Traveller

AFT one-ton tungsten G/E package
