Fictional Set Design, 2016
The "portal" was created by using a fog machine and projecting a graphic through it. The graphic was a software I had developed through Processing in order to create a sense of depth and to give it a "living" quality. Coupled along with the use of speakers and sound effects, we were able to make it appear to the audience as if the portal were actually being used.
fun fact: we contacted the fire department to shut off the sprinkler system to make sure no false alarms were triggered by the fog machine.
