(about)

Video Design for Uncanny: Fear of the Dark, a live stage production based on the popular paranormal investigation series. The show presents a number of real-life accounts, each given its own distinct visual language to suit the story being told. The cases are tied together by a microfilm container, framing the production as an archive of the unexplained.
