THE FASTEST-GROWING TREND IN SCENIC DESIGN!
We’re excited that you’re interested renting our projectionpackage
for your upcoming production of Les Miserables. Adding scenic projections to your production will engage your audience and give a
sense of place and time, which bridges the gap between cinema and
theatre.
Features of the Les Miserables projections:
• The graphical style of the artwork was inspired by
classic ink art.
• Each scene transitions seamlessly into the next, creating a
cohesive look to the scenic elements.
• Difficult mid-scene location and time-period changes are eliminated with animated visual transitions and title overlays.
• Live-action version of Cosette overlayed on a waving French
Flag. A stunning visual to use before and after the
performance.
• Beautifully designed titles for the many scenes, including
the beginning, intermission and end.

INFORMATION
The included projections are told as a classic ink storybook illustration. Each scene bleeds together on warm, textured paper. Title sequences give the audience a sense of time and place. The story of Les Miserables pulls the attention from the audience, and plays beautifully in
front of the projected animated artwork.
Act One
Pre-Show
Cosette overlayed on the French Flag as it dramatically waves.
Scene 1
Toulon, 1815 Title
Scene 2
The Factory appears with flickering lights in the windows.
Scene 3 & 4
The shipyard dock appears, with a grand boat rocking to the waters direction.
Scene 5
Continuing flawlessing from the previous scene, the docks transition to the inimiate interior of
the Hospital. A bedside candle flickers in the still air.
Scene 7
Paris appears with the Title, “Paris - Ten Years Later 1832”. The projection pans upward towards
a starry night.

The colors of the French flag bleed downward from the sky and cover the screen.

blood-like overlay. The red then fades out with the rain that falls softly behind the cityscape.
