(about)

Video Design for Your Lie in April, a musical adaptation of a popular Japanese anime and manga. The video content was styled to pay homage to the source material and evoke an anime art style.

A warm-lit stage framed by blossom branches, a glowing cherry tree projected on the tall back windows above a sofa and steps.
"Impressionistic and anime-style projections (led by video designer Dan Light) do a remarkably imaginative job of indicating changes of place, time and mood."
