For Kidnapped (NTS, 2023) I worked with animator Zofia Chalmenia to create and project maps and animations of the show's journeys

Here the intended voyage of the "Precariosa" from Queensferry to North Carolina is animated onto the ship's sail.

For Candide (Scottish Opera, 2022) I created imagery to fit tall thin screens in a promenade piece behind the Scottish Opera buildings.

Candide - Paris

Some images were created from photos of the cast in character - here we see Martin, a nihilistic refuse operative Candide encounters.

Candide - Employee of the Month

I created a wanted poster depicting the fugitive Candide near Cadiz.

Candide - Wanted

These Instagram-style images were shown through Cundegonde's aria "Glitter and Be Gay" where she recounts her plight with various emotions.

Candide - Cunegram

A stand-alone project with colleague Ellie Thompson, we used photogrammetry to make 3D models of various objects...

Mapping tests

...and then stretched and warped imagery to fit back onto the objects...

Mapping tests

...some objects proving more difficult than others!
