FINAL BAND PROJECT FEEDBACK AND VISUALS

As you can see here as the final Visual Renders I have created. These renders include variation of the audience view and they key point was the POV from the drummer who needed to have a clear line of sight to the lead singer. along side with the need to have LOS to the brass side as they would be introducing the songs. There was a necessary need to leave the center of the stage open partly due to Michael's desire for movement which he expressed in all of our meetings and from my personal view watching him in all performances he was a very physically expressive performer meaning this was probably the most important point.

Regarding this feedback form the band my final thoughts are as follows.

There was a great response to the design of the set in both regards to the colour pallets I had chosen and the general casino theme, I was really pleased the band felt my choices of lighting and layout represented the persona of the band showing there individuality through subtle changes between each area.

If I were to start this project again, my goal would be to try and individualize the set further to show each members personality having small details like important numbers on the playing cards, having the casino chips which I have scattered around with names of songs or favorite lyrics, these would also have a dual performative purpose as I would love to have the slot machine set piece be functional. E.G. a slot on the side of the machine in which the casino chips can be seen being pushed in and then the lever on the side coming down. Finally the slot machine faces would spin onto a specific song based on the casino chips title. On a practical level this would probably be done by using RFID tags inside the chips and a small software package telling the machine to change faces and spin anytime they want on any song.
