Creative Use of TECH

Wire technology is used to outstanding effect to create the illusion that Peter Pan is in fact taking flight and gliding around the room. It is used outstandingly to showcase the talents of Cathy Rigby and effectively convey the joy and wonder associated with flying.

Towards the end of the exquisite Jesus Christ Superstar compilation, a raised platform is used to raise Jesus out over the audience. This helps to give the character a larger than life feeling, helping to portray him as a messiah. The creative use of this platform also helps to connect the audience with the actors and make them feel closer to the actions of the play. 

I found the set design in this video to be stunning. The creation of a set with multiple levels in which the characters were to interact and move through was absolutely brilliant. The entire set made use of fantastic architecture and excellent lighting to create an interesting and engrossing environment that  never seizes to hold the viewer's attention. 

This video illustrates how Mary Poppins employs a fantastic use of light and background design to create great depth to the story unfolding on the stage. The chimney sweeps appear to be in an entirely different area that is intricate and deep. It really seems as though they exist in the depths of a black and charred city, marked only by the lights of the buildings. 

Wicked uses wire technology to fantastic effect in this video, as the witch ascends in the air seamlessly. The technique brilliantly creates the illusion of flight, as she continues to rise towards the ceiling.  

They main thing I found interesting about this video was its outstanding transition towards the end, as the background cascades to the floor from the ceiling. An effortless and beautiful way to move the musical along and catch the viewer's attention. 

The brilliant use of lighting built into the set the dancers are utilizing creates an outstanding background and helps to accentuate the dancers.
