Santa's Workshop


This video showcases the projection mapping of Santa's Workshop. As the Projection Designer, I collaborated with the other members of the design team to craft and create each of the many location throughout the story.

The scenic design consisted of 5 +27' high towers designed to look like building blocks. While 4 tower were stationary, the center tower was rigger to spilt in the middle and track off stage to reveal the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

This projection consisted of over 300 different elements, both static and animated to create the overall look and feel of the workshop.
