Since its October I only thought it fitting to through back to my Design of The Bride of Frankenstein. Produced by Sackerson and Directed by the one and only Christopher Clark

The Bride of Frankenstein was a live lip sync to the original 1930’s film. In 2015 my good friend Dan Whiting approached me about designing this creepy project in an old factory in downtown Salt Lake City. Here Director Chris Clark and Producer/Actor Alex Ungerman tell us more:

I pulled my inspiration from a trip to Edinburgh that ended up in the Frankenstein pub. The whole place is designed to look like Dr. Frankenstein’s lab- A spooky place to grab a pint! The joint was lit with plenty of texture saturation, as well as shadows on shadows on shadows!

We also wanted to production to be immersive- The audience had to traverse a long eery hall to the theater space and once they entered they where welcome to explore the lab and take photos. I pulled from the greatest Disney ride ever ‘The Tower of Terror’ (RIP). Again plenty of dark saturated color- TEXTURE as far as the eye could see, and plenty of shadow. Checkout these images of inspiration I took:

I don’t do a lot of sound design, but how could I pass this one up? It was a matter of taking the original 1930’s film and extracting and cleaning up the audio. It proved a little more difficult that I thought, but definitely paid off. Here is a little sample of the work:

Check out some of the production photos:

All of this happened here, at this found space warehouse

This was such a great production to work on, and what a scary result! If you saw this production I would love to hear what you thought in the comments below. Thanks for the read and…

See you at the Theater!
