Sondheim On Sondheim - Sunday in The Park Image Sequence
Lyric Stage Company: Sondheim on Sondheim - Recreation of Seurat Painting from Seághan McKay on Vimeo.
This musical number is taken from Sunday In The Park with George. We wanted to recreate the Georges Seurat painting “A Sunday Afternoon on La Grand Jatte” in a magical way during the number. This image sequence shows how characters were layered upon each other to complete the final image.

Among the environmental support that projections provided to this production at SpeakEasy Stage, we sought to illustrate Carrie’s telekinetic powers as she learns to use them.

Kurt Vonnegut’s “Make Up Your Mind” - Transition Animations
Kurt Vonnegut's "Make Up Your Mind" Transition Animations from Seághan McKay on Vimeo.
To accompany the dark comedy in this world premiere of a newly discovered Kurt Vonnegut play, I pulled from the author’s many artworks and doodles found in his novels. Using these sources, I created art that was then printed, hand-cut, and animated in a stop-motion style. These animations were then incorporated into the production as interstitial episodes.

Merrily We Roll Along - Demo Transitions
Merrily We Roll Along Demo Cut from Seághan McKay on Vimeo.
In addition to scenographic backgrounds, this production called for seven transitions which need to express the passage of time. In this unique show events are shown in reverse order, further necessitating the need to identify the years in which they take place. All projections were presented on a 12’ diameter disc which travelled left and right, up and down across the set. Animations were tracked across the raster to follow the position of the disc. For an extended cut of all of the transitions, click HERE.

Light Up The Sky - Transition
In the first act of Light Up The Sky at the Paramount Theater for Emerson Stage, I used projections to subtly enhance the painted cloud mural hung upstage. This transition takes us from the first act in to the second act, several hours later in the play. Numerous archival sources were used to generate the content here. Our goal was to pay homage to the Colonial Theater in Boston, where the play takes place in 1948. The wallpaper pattern is a sample from the Colonial and serves as the basis of our backdrop for this act.
