Conceived more as a tone-poem on life, the seasons, change and
growing up than a cute story about a guy in a pig suit, this
production involved location-shot video as well as live video
projection.
The actors manipulated a tiny video camera as well as models of
the barn and the Ferris Wheel at the State Fair and other props to
provide an evocative, often bittersweet, background to the story.
The large picture, left, for instance, shows the actor who plays the
sheep, sifting flour “snow” on the model barn and toy truck, as the
live video of his actions are projected on the scrim behind which
are the actors in this winter scene.
Most scenes involved this kind of multiple-view approach where the
audience saw the scene taking place, and the manipulation of the
elements that was creating its visual component.

graphic created of the barn.
