This is a whimsical trilogy of dance fantasy films. In ‘A Dancer
Drops Out of the Sky’, digitally generated choreography allows
our hero to slide from Italy via Sydney to Poland and back
to the clouds in one extended phrase. In ‘Down Time Jaz’,
the same technique liberates an entire family from their boxy
existence to a romp through the streets that lands them,
dancing in a live action sequence. In between these two,
‘Rubberman Accepts the Nobel Prize’ integrates digital media
with live action dance using the persona of a superhero and his
stretchy exploits to look at whether dance can be understood
as a literal language and why action figures should get more
respect. These works, with their dance and digital effects,

Much Ado About Something
For over 200 years, there have been doubts as to whether
Shakespeare actually wrote the works attributed to him. One
of the rival Elizabethan playwrights considered to be the best
qualified to be the true author, has never been seriously
considered because he died in a knife fight at the age of 29.
This is Christopher Marlowe. But what if he did not die? What
if he escaped to live in exile in Italy and continued his career
as a writer and spy? It is a possibility too upsetting for many
Shakespeare scholars to consider.

Successful Camera
Almost all portable video cameras are a combination of
camera and recorder, with automatic functions for ease
of use. To get the best technical results, an understanding
of these functions and the ability to use them manually is
essential. Equally important is to know what type of shots to
take and how they will edit together. A comprehensive user’s
guide accompanies each video summarising the content and
timing of the program including ideas for practical work and
discussion points.

Successful Lighting

our eye sees and a camera sees. To get the best results,
knowledge is required of how to control light to produce the
best pictures and create different effects. This is a creative
skill and there are no ‘correct’ ways to light a scene. A
comprehensive user’s guide accompanies each video
summarising the content and timing of the program including
ideas for practical work and discussion points.

Successful Sound
Getting the right balance between picture and sound is a skill
that writer, director and editor must share. Sometimes sound
provides most of the information either by commentary or
non-verbal background atmosphere and good program
makers will involve sound designers in pre-production.
A comprehensive user’s guide accompanies each video
summarising the content and timing of the program including
