Visuals for the west-end dance show BLAZE.

The Times – “The aptly named Mega Super Awesome Visuals Company eventually makes selective use of every available surface as a screen upon which to project a dazzling variety of digital graphics, from animated landscapes and pulsating lights to oozing liquid and raging flames.”

The Guardian – “Es Devlin’s clever set, constructed from piles of boxes, cupboards, TV screens and doors, gives the dancers plenty of levels to move on, and, better still, functions as a three-dimensional screen on which the lighting and video team can project their most astonishing effects. A B-boy trio performing against images of melting snow acquire a rare luminous purity; Lizzie Gough (also a finalist from So You Think You Can Dance) becomes a fiercely demonic figure, conjuring a kaleidoscopic storm of flashing light.”

Financial Times – “Here is the most blissfully energetic, sassy, to- hell-with-everything-except-street-dance show. And it is superbly designed by Es Devlin … Devlin has, tremendously, placed the action against a wall of grey, office-equipment- suppliers’ drawers and the occasional ice-box and a single bath. These serve as background, exits, launching pads for dance. There is stunning lighting by Patrick Woodroffe and Adam Bassett, and amazing video projections.”

Too Much Flavour – “the projection effects were sensational at extending the effect of the routines. Although the back wall of the theatre was an odd construction made up of what appeared to be stacks of drawers when lit fully, come time for those projections and the wall burst to life with action. Memo Akten and Robin McNicholas did an amazing job at putting it to use. One of its best uses was a solo from Lizzie Gough controlling a projected ball of light with her choreography making it a visual treat to watch.”

The Arts Desk – “This is a show blazing with talent and young exuberance, and it will rejuvenate you faster than a Red Bull. “

Ballet.co.uk – “van Laast has the showman’s touch and ‘Blaze’ is brilliantly designed by Es Devlin with a backdrop of cases, trunks, storage boxes and even a fridge, apparently piled on top of each other from floor to ceiling and cleverly concealing platforms, a trampoline, and the potential for pools of light and access points. It also provided texture for the brilliant video design by the appropriately-named Mega Super Awesome Visuals Company – there’s no point in hiding your light under a bushel when you’re this good!”

This is a little animation I’ve been tinkering around with for a while. The original incarnation was designed for the Piranhabar reception desk which spanned 3 HDTV’s so it was wiiiiiiiide. This version is a little easier to swallow on a single screen.

It follows a little robotic character who’s just trying to grab some shut-eye but the factory around him springs to life unexpectedly. A serious design flaw in the factories ergonomics prevents the poor guy from reaching the off switch and the rest is history!

I pretty much did everything you see and hear here. Visuals were done in XSI, comping and grading in After Effects and sound was done in Premiere. Sound design purely based on sound effects was a new venture for me so I hope the result sounds ok!

Die meisten Menschen haben sich sicherlich schon in einer Situation vorgefunden, in der man sich zwischen zwei Dingen entscheiden muss, dies aber nicht so wirklich kann, als würden zwei geheimnisvolle innere Stimmen gegeneinander arbeiten. Warum kann man sich so manche Wahl einfach nicht erklären? Dieser Film thematisiert diese Frage, um der Wissenschaft eine mehr oder weniger absurde Erklärung zu liefern.
