Process Work Examples
Rough magic sheet for Scenes from Metamorphoses, Fall 2021
For every show I design, I take the time to do process work after reading the play and attending blocking rehearsals. This process work can include scene breakdowns, color and effect journeys, and character maps. Frequently I will also pull research images to help gain a better understanding of the quality of light that I am trying to achieve throughout the show.
These pages are examples of this process work from various shows I have worked on. Included are some examples of rough draft magic sheets from early in tech and focus.
