Ian William Galloway designs video for Frantic Assembly's new production with the National Theatre of Scotland - Beautiful Burnout by Bryony Lavery, a physical theatre piece about amateur boxing.
The video design is shown on a high resolution video wall of 21 LCD televisions, powered by five Catalyst systems, and shot on RedOne cam at resolutions up to 4k.
Beautful Burnout won one of The Scotsman's Fring First awards for 2010.
"The show's creative team have designed a multimedia backdrop that is both vibrantly pulsing and poetically expressionistic. On a giant bank of TV monitors, a sweat-spattered black glove pounds in and out of focus, glittering like a star-spangled night sky." - The Independent - read the review
"It's the way this story is told – through a mix of video, replays, a revolving stage and some astonishingly choreographed training sequences – that makes it so compelling." - The Guardian - read the review
"Beautiful Burnout is mesmerising: the fluid choreography, flickering recorded images and pumping music creating a hyperreality which enthrals." - Fringe Review - read the review
"I'm so sick of video on stage, but the video was amazing" - Stella Duffy on The Review Show, BBC2, 13/08/10
