Revelry 2021
As part of SPVA, I was tasked with directing the video ad campaign for SPVA’s 2021 Revelry Event. In this event, all four sections of the school, theatre, dance, art, and design, come together to host different events, workshops, speaking engagements, and activities for new, current, and past students to enjoy. Events include swordfighting, screen printing, dance demonstrations, figure drawing, and so much more.
This was for the third annual Revelry, and every year, the design for Revelry is a little different but mainly in its colors, so I knew I wanted to do something different, but I wasn’t sure how yet. At the time of this project, I was rewatching every Disney “TRON” movie, watching the TV show, and listening to the remix edition of the “TRON: Legacy” soundtrack made by Daft Punk. That may or may not have influenced my design just a tiny smidge, so when choosing music, I presented a generic rock song and this really dark eighties synth music.

Everyone was in love with the song, and from then on we decided to make the entire theme for this year’s Revelry the 80’s. We did all sorts of 80’s related videos from workout videos to cheesy dramas, but I really wanted to encapsulate what I loved about the original analog, “scanimate” machines. So, with my inspirations, I went to work, and I am very proud of the result.
