I used Isadora for the full customizable video processing system for the opera The Tyant, the director's need was to have a fully controllable and changeable system. the system will be showed on a small tv on the stage and on a retro projection.

the password for the video is: tartuffe

Director's requests are connected to the ambience he want to recreate during the opera. The first part is mainly a continuous movement of clouds and the appearing of the moon. The second part contains a letter seen in an underwater scene covered by ink and last element is a foggy place similar to Friedrich paintings.

The first work is to create a night scene with moving clouds. A white ethereal moon is hidden by the clouds and it has to be shown at a certain time.

The video was shooted in one week in various locations in New York City manly during the night. We used a Canon 5D Mark II for the high low light sensibility. Edited in 5 days was presented as a sneak preview in a full Japan Society auditorium. The project will continue the next year.

this work was very challenging due to the complexity of the Amos Oz text. the video help to contextualize the situation and environment where the action is taken. a ledwall over the scene shows some simil videoart situations adding a communication channel to the director.

We created the video design with some 3d illusion projections during the show. The video has a primary role in this work interacting with the main actor mr. Giorgio Albertazzi in the role of Picasso and the choreographies made by Janet Eilber for the Martha Graham Dance Company. A Christie 16k with 0.73 lens is used for a 12 meters wide projection controlled by fluido.it custom made software. Premiered in Messina (Teatro Vittorio Emanuele), the tour continues Rome (Teatro Quirino) and Firenze (Teatro La Pergola).

the issue in this work was to show the video splitted on different  surfacec with different distances over the scene. using a 0.8 sanyo 15K ansi lumen projector the video was splitted in two different blocks projected on two different surfaces with the same content. the depth illusion was adapted scaling the two blocks.

For The medium by Menotti the director wanted the animations recreates a state of mind inside the house. The scenography divided in three parts permit to map and concentrate the animations only in particular places.

the videodesign interacts with the actors action. the director Deda Cristina Colonna and the scenographer Pier Paolo Bisleri needed a dynamic videoprojection for the baroque opera. during the baroque period theater became a mulimedia experience and we used mapped video to recreate this illusion in a sort of baroque 2.0

 the animations were created shooting the elements on greenscreen, keyed and composed to be applied onto the scene elements. during the show the actors interact with the video.

Wallpaper Dance is an international videodance festival that take plase annually in Trieste, we technically supported the festival, created the graphic design and realized the website www.coreofficina.org/wallpaperdance.

fluido.it followed also the videoprojection on Palazzo Galatti façade.

Promo relized for the event.

The videodesign had a heavy descriptive role during the opera. Due to the lack of time and no possibility to meet the director the work was completely created through internet and monted in 1 day at the venue. The simulations with Poser machinimas were published on internet and sent to the director to have the final approve.

The "final" representation for the "world tour" of Madama Butterfly. The videodesign was set for one projection instead of the original that involved two.

this version of Quartet had five live video cameras giving five different views of the inside of the cube - two were focused on the actions of the actors, and three provided perspectives on the space. this was the only clear, direct way to see the cube, because its plastic skin served as a abarrier between the actors and the audience. in some parts of the show, there were also pre-recorded, time-lapse videos with movement; these were layered with the live video feed to alter the reality of the moment. a control-panel display indicated how the cube was controlling the characters. overall, the graphic design was very basic, very elementary.

This year the Festivale dell'operetta in Trieste celebrated his 40th anniversary and fluido.it made the video scene for the main event, The Merry Widow. The scenography is made by Edoardo Sanchi and the director is Federico Tiezzi. The show will tour Italy in the season 2009/2010. The scene is a retroprojected animation as a moving background during various scenes. The dimensions are 12 meter long for 8 meter high projection screen. fluido.it made the software and the projection system.

During this show I used the biggest videoprojector on the market a Christie 50+ arrived directly from Canada. The most important issue was to cover the huge dimensions of the back projection and to synchronize the two projection without any physical connection between the two spaces.

In december 2007 the first meeting. The challenge was exciting. How to project on different places in the same scene different video content with only one projector. fluido.it prepared the mapping software and the videos, mostly from archive footage.

January 2008. Video design for the show produced by the Slovene Theater in Trieste. The set was enriched with a projection showing backgrounds and live video feed. fluido.it wrote the management software and made the video content.

Starting from Antilena Nicolizas drawings fluido.it created the animation for the opera Iris by Mascagni. Premiered in Livorno (Italy) under the direction of Federico Tiezzi, the animations enriched the scene, made by Pierpaolo Bisleri, during some key moments of the opera.

VJing and videoprojections on structures during the concerts at Teatro Miela for the Trieste Film Festival 2006.

During the summer period untill some years ago, the Roman theater in Trieste was the place for cultural events. Every year a honour evening was made for a distinct person for the culture in Trieste. fluido.it set the whole video system made by live feeds and prerecorded material showed on a big projection during the show.

december 2004. first meeting in ljubljana, Ziajh Sokolović was explaining his dreams for a scene that changes during the varius scenes but phisically remains the same. I have no idea how to do that, but I told him that it was possible. Campiello is the result. 3 synchronized videoprojections on 3 screens, minimal scene with high visual impact.
