The Wizard of Oz - Cyclone Projection

This will be centre of attention once Dorothy is knocked out. A taste of what the scene should look like. I have the Keynote computer for a couple of weeks to edit the elements for the projected backdrop. I am only half finished. This cyclone sequence has always been a pain. but I am finally satisfied with the results. The production provided me a sound effects library which I am learning to incorporate into the presentation. It's really quite exciting. I will work on the last part next weekend. I have a feeling it will be the more challenging of the two. Only a month away from show time.

Set Design: The Wizard Of Oz - Keynote Test

 

So this is my unofficial journal to document how the process of puting together stage scenery using electronic means.

I just spent a couple of hours learning the ins and outs of Apple Keynote. I really like the ease of using this application. Once I have collected the media, it was a matter of figuring out how the animation works. This is the mock-up video I created to show some of the slideshow features we may want to use for the show. There is a series of 6 slideshows, the last being a video effect.

Next time, I have to find out if we just need a QT video or the actual PowerPoint file, as there might be issues in exporting the latter.
