Project Description
The Great Gatsby is a well known show about extravagance and yet about how nothing changes at the same time. The design was rich in saturated colours to help with this intense indulgence as well as specials to bring out the different worlds Gatsby inhabits. I used freeze frames for Nick and his direct audience addresses and of course the famous green light to pick out Gatsby as he looked out for Daisy. The show presented challenges, especially with the car crash, but working closely with a sound designer these moments became stylised and very effective.Photos:Christopher O'Grady
