Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing, the production team took extra precautions by deciding to film our production and stream it online. With these new constraints, I created two full stage sets styled after the 1880's Aesthetics Movement that could be filmed up close and personal. To accomplish a production of this size a variety of stock pieces were incorporated into the design from the very beginning. I was thoroughly involved in this production from design to construction to final filming. Overall through some creative thinking and strong collaboration, the production team and myself were able to produce theatre amidst the pandemic!

Overnight Set Changeover

Due to filming, it was decided amongst the production team that the Living Room location would be filmed first in its entirety before changing over to the Bedroom. Above is a time lapse video of the one night changeover that the Technical Director and myself spearheaded.
