Alice Weston is a legend in the art scene, and 25 years ago she created a live music and projected art event called “Crystal Clues to the Sublime”, with a slideshow of her crystal photography and a live orchestra. She came to us looking for a unique way to celebrate the anniversary of the show, and we delivered. Working with a composer and concert pianist, our animators turned her 25-year-old slides into an immersive 3D animation experience that came together as a 15 minute live show, performed over several nights at Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center. Produced at Lightborne.
