This project celebrates interdisciplinary collaboration between aerial performers, Sophie and Will, as well as video designer Owen George Kelly. Through collaborative efforts and communication with the performers about their creative vision for media, I worked to design visuals which closely followed the narrative of the aerial performance storyboard. My role spanned both creative direction and technical execution to ensure the visuals enhanced the emotional arc and spatial dynamics of the live performance. Strong themes of oceanic life and the threat of human activity were the focus of the story. Throughout the project, I maintained open communication with collaborators, adapting to feedback and making iterative improvements to the design. This approach ensured that the final output not only met the project's objectives but also provided an immersive and thought-provoking experience for the audience.
