Collaborative Visuals for a Spooky Organ Concert
December 2nd, 2011
At the end of October, I traveled to Brooklyn to collaborate with a friend of mine, Wil Smith, who is a composer and performer. Every year he puts on a spooky organ concert at First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, with a selection of classical and contemporary works. This year I had the opportunity to create some interpretive visuals for five of the organ works. We projected the real-time video right onto the organ and wall of the church for some really cool effects! Here are some clips to give you a better idea of what I’m talking about:
