Paul Peers - Mata Hari

Just finished a short but sweet workshop of a new opera-play hybrid based on the life of courtesan/spy Mata Hari. Fingers crossed this will develop into a full blown production soon - animating syphilis spirochetes is fun!

Curved screen projection with Isadora

I just finished an tutorial/article on projecting on curved screens using Isadora's 3D Mesh Projector actor. You can read it on my site:

Aaron Harrow - Show Reel 2011

Here's my show reel, updated for 2011! Watch the HD version if you can...

Jack Hitt - Making Up The Truth at the Long Wharf - extended!

Well Making Up the Truth was a huge hit at the Long Wharf Connecticut - sold out every night and extended! Congrats to everyone!

Scary!

This is not work-related, but I thought I'd post it here as it was so crazy.
I was taking a couple of days off in Montauk with my girlfriend, then she got called for an audition and had to return to NYC. That night a storm blew in and I thought I'd film a little bit of it to show her.

6 seconds after I hit the record button, this is what happened....

(turn your sound up!)

Jack Hitt - Making Up The Truth

We just closed a great workshop run of Jack Hitt's one-man show "Making Up The Truth".

It was held in 3LD's newly revamped Studio C and was sold out every night to rapturous audiences. I mean they didn't actually float up to Heaven or anything, but you get the idea ;)

Now we're gearing up to take the show to The Long Wharf Theater in Newhaven, Connecticut!

The Human Scale in Israel - big success!

Despite some initial trepidation, taking The Human Scale to Israel proved to be a huge success! The show was very respectfully received in Tel Aviv and there were fascinating talk-backs held after every performance - a real learning experience for me.

Spy Garbo First Preview!

The beautiful monster of a show that is Spy Garbo opened last night for previews.

It was a great show and everyone seemed to love it!

Here's a 'making of' video...

Spy Garbo

Well I'm just about to go into rehearsal/tech for Spy Garbo; a gigantic co-production between 3-Legged Dog and Affinity Theater Company.

Last count was 28 projectors, a huge curved surround screen and an Eyeliner...yikes!

We have a fantastic crew though - video designers are myself, Peter Norrman and Jeff Morey...a dream team! ;)

More info on the project can be found HERE and I'll try to post some updates if my schedule allows!

In the meantime, this is a still from a 3D sewer environment I've been building - based on the Vienna sewer sequence from 'The Third Man'. Click to enlarge.
