Projection Design

Created with Photoshop and After Effects (and an iPhone camera)

10 projectors total, one for each wall and 6 for the floor.
Connected to two computers via VGA cables and Matrox TripleHead2Go and DualHead2Go units.
Surfaces mapped in QLab 3.

Sound Design

Sound System:

13 total speakers, 11 total sound outputs:
- 4 speakers in the four corners of the space, pointed into the corners, used for directional sound
- 3 speakers in central cluster, pointed at audience (controlled with a single output), used for loud sounds and mic effect
- 2 sub-woofers on opposite sides of the space
- 1 speaker above upstage door, used for sounds coming from the other side of the door
- 3 speakers underneath each section of audience seating, sneakily used for sounds of cell phones going off >:)

Sound Effects:

Various sounds of rhinoceroses in various moods trumpeting created with the help of Anna Ramon, french horn player. (See videos #1, #2, #4, and #5 above)
Rhinoceroses don't actually trumpet, but since the script repeatedly describes them as trumpeting, consider these to be symbolic supernatural "rhinoceroses", instead of real in-the-flesh rhinos.

Other sounds created by rhinoceroses. Created by affecting found sounds. (See videos #1, #2, and #5 above)

The sound of a rhinoceros horn smashing through a wooden door. Created by effecting and layering found sounds. (See video #1 above)

The sound of a fireman raising a ladder. Created by editing and affecting a found sound.

Absurd music used in and around the show.
- It's a Small World excerpt was used at the top of the show (Preshow was in silence)
- Suashi was looped during intermission
- This edit of Root of an Unfocus was used as subtle underscoring for scene 3 (See video #1 above)
- Daisy, Daisy was used for curtain call

Mic Effect:

See Video #1 above
(Note: the video was of final dress, and there was a minor issue with Jean's mic picking up Berenger when he ran offstage, which was solved by opening night)

• Wireless body mic was attached to an actor who turned into a rhinoceros over the course of a scene
• Audio signal was run through an FX unit, with pitch bend and chorus effects applied
• Audio was run in stereo, with the center cluster on the right and the speaker over the upstage doorway on the left. When the actor was onstage it would be panned hard right, and when he was offstage (behind the door) it would be panned hard left. 
• The stage manager called cues to the board operator to pan the audio when necessary and to raise the volume of the effect slowly over the course of the scene.

System Setup

1. Floor surface successfully mapped using a total of 6 projectors!
