adapt existing designs to changed circumstances
Adapt an existing design to changed circumstances and ensure that the artistic quality of the original design is reflected in the final result.
Performance video designers develop a projected image design concept for a performance and supervise the execution of it. Their work is based on research and artistic vision. Their design is influenced by and influences other designs and must be conform with these designs and the overall artistic vision. Therefore, the designers work closely with artistic directors, operators and the artistic team. Performance video designers prepare media fragments to be used in a performance, which can involve recording, composing, manipulating and editing. They develop plans, mapping, cue lists and other documentation to support the operators and production crew. They sometimes also work as autonomous artists, creating video art outside a performance context.
