The Moors

The Moors is my first assignment as a designer for a main stage production at UNCSA, and it is currently ongoing! I am in the final stages of ideation and plot development, and it is soon to head over to electrics to be hung. For this show I wanted to try out a new workflow for concept design and presentation which utilizes Unreal Engine 5 to render the set fully textured and in 3d, which I then lit using real world lighting data like lumen output to get a sense of how light would behave in the space in real life. I then took these scenes and presented them to other members of the design team to give a better sense of what my design would look like. I had a lot of fun with this new approach, and I think it was very successful! If you'd like to hear more about the technical side, check out my page on Unreal Engine in Special Projects.
