Hairspray
Design Notes
Hairspray was the first musical that I designed and it allowed me to learn how to program to music effectively. I think that at some points my design was flawed in creating too much activity to the point of distraction but at other points I was able to achieve simple, yet effective choices. Overall I am still proud of the work I did on this show and it taught me tons about designing and practical programming experience. Examples of work are shown below starting with the finished product towards the top and my process being shown as you scroll down.
Whenever scenes were set in the Corny Collin’s Show studio set, I brought down a batten with pars aimed forward and barn doors to reinforce the setting.
Use of downlight on Velma to reinforce over the top maniacal nature of her character
Example of script annotation for cues and ideas
My punch list to help organize tasks and notes.
