ABSTRACT

Chapter 4 begins Part II of the book, which addresses design and production workflow. This chapter features a complete overview of the production process for projection design, starting with design and planning. The design and planning section covers such details as pre-production planning, hiring a team, content creation, system design, and shop orders. Subsequent sections introduce load-in, the tech process, previews and performances, and post-opening activities. For each of these sections, thoughts are given on typical timelines as well as checklists of considerations for those new to the process. Field research is also included, featuring an interview with projection designer Zachary Borovay.
