Light Falls: Space, Time, and an Obsession of Einstein
- Animation
Described by The New York Times as a “cerebral spectacle with a theatrical twist,” Light Falls celebrates the 100th anniversary of the confirmation of Albert Einstein’s most important breakthrough: his conception of the General Theory of Relativity.
Written and performed by Brian Greene with an all-Broadway ensemble cast and state-of-the-art animated projection effects by 59 Productions, the show premiered across America on PBS in summer 2019.
My Involvement
I created several animations to illustrate scientific principles such as Pythagoras’ Theorem, the curve of space time and asynchronicity.
There was an added technical dimension to the show which was televised across America; several shots required projected video content that was camera matched to the point of view of the audience at home.
