Below are two videos that I created to be projected during transitions. The former was written as a light-hearted scene (parody) that would physically play out on stage. However, to save time in terms of costume changes and re-setting the set, I decided to create it as a piece of AV, so that the production could be light on its feet in darting between the multiple vignettes taking place in various timelines.

The latter video was written as a repeating voice-over echoing out. It plays at the end of a scene in which Hedy has just been humiliated on a chat show, when trying to rekindle her failing Hollywood career. I decided to make it a nightmarish video, giving the audience something to watch as we transition into the next scene.
