Multimedia/Artistic Direction

 

 

Since 2000 I have been visual director for multimedia performances held across Canada for the Yukon Government Department of Tourism. With my associates at DNA and Plughead Productions, we have produced shows which combine live performance including song, music and dance, with powerful visuals and audioscapes produced in the field and studio. Creating 3-camera panoramic synchronized video footage, doing parallel editing and using multiple video channels for synchronized multiprojector playback (we have used up to four video tracks and nine projectors), the result has been powerful immersive performances which have received standing ovations from Vancouver to Halifax. We love what we do, and look forward to the next project of epic proportions.

Another recent multimedia performance incorporated video, prerecorded music and live throat singers, drummers and storytelling at the Canada Summer Games closing ceremonies in 2005. The event marked the invitation to attend the Canada Winter Games in Whitehorse, Yukon in 2007 through a display of northern culture and icononographic imagery of the land and wildlife, which was broadcast live across Canada.
