The Baseball Music Project is a good example of both the fantastic variety that comes my way and of the application of convergence design principles. Great people to work with, the team has done numerous performances of this evening of singing, music, narration, and images, but this was my first time joining the project. Hosted by Baseball Hall of Fame member Dave Winfield, the show takes songs from the history of baseball and blends them with a continuous string of images from the archives. The challenge for me was to take a "standard" concert hall and enhance the environment, with very little time or equipment at my disposal. I put together a rig of conventional lights, LED lights, moving mirror units, and two digital projectors to give me a continuous string of looks, all easily changed in the quick two-day process. I even used some ancient "beam projectors" for stadium lights, drawing it all together and "taking us out to the ballgame."
