INTRODUCTION
As soon as we started discussing the stage concept, we decided we had to use physical decorations. The first thing we needed to accomplish was to create a giant mask, the symbol of the creative alliance DUGA, a part of which Mnogoznaaal is. It was not a problem at all, because the musicians already had a model, we were just supposed to implement it. The second part of the decorations required much more global work, as the idea we had in mind was to recreate the “Kosmos” hotel from the iconic track of the performer and fill it with different characters. First of all, we had to photograph the hotel itself from different angles, which was quite a challenge, since it is located in Pechora, and we had to look for a photographer remotely. The photographer went to the hotel several times to fulfill our terms of reference. Secondly, at the same time we took pictures to shoot images of the hotel guests. Thirdly, we decided to include as part of the hotel's decor elements of Permian Komi ornaments, which had to be painted.
THE RESULT
In this project we used the following instruments:
- The mask was attached to a kinetic winch, which allowed its position to be changed;
- A screen was installed close to the windows carved into the hotel scenery, on which the content was played;
- Characters' shadows, lights went on and off, and ornaments appeared in the windows;
- to create tonal shades on the "windows" that were not out of step with the overall color scheme of the scene, effects were applied in direct communication via artnet with the lighting console;
- all the content was audio-active and controlled from the VJ.
