Film director and founder of hibrow.tv, Don Boyd, channels his expertise of integrating digital film technologies with immersive theatre, into recreating Palimpsest’s production of Hedda Gabler for screens, using highly flexible High Definition multi-camera technologies.
To avoid the conventional observational techniques used by most directors when capturing theatre productions, Boyd devised a system to integrate the mobile cameras discretely, in and around the performers, without needing to disguise their presence. Three digital camera crews and two static cameras filmed two versions of each section of the play, providing Boyd with a multiplicity of shots for the editing process.
