Electronic visual media in this work are composed from live and recorded video feeds that are being animated and transformed in real-time with in-camera editing and processing, and synchronized with the performers on stage. The concurrent projection of moving images and animation provides an extension of the theatrical space into a virtual space. The extension of theatrical space with synthesized effects and images captured in the moment of performance contributes significantly to the overall audience experience. The video recording and editing/processing are done on different devices: the camera records the live performance while transmitting the video signal to a separate computer equipped with software that processes the video signal, alters the image, composites it with other visual materials and sets it in a virtual space that is projected on stage.
