that true phoenix | team awesome robot
That true phoenix is the story of Lorenzo da Ponte: the most interesting man you've never heard of. Far more than just the librettist for mozart's greatest operas, da Ponte still ended up as a mere footnote in history. Based on his own highly embellished memoirs, that true phoenix chronicles da Ponte's life from exiled revolutionary schoolteacher in Venice, to disgraced court poet in Vienna, to Pennsylvania grocery story owner, to Columbia university professor in New York CIty and tells the true story of a perpetual immigrant who changed his story to become the true embodiment of the American dream.
The video design worked to define the world as the story progressed further. The first act began with almost no video other than a title and a live shadow puppet sequence and then started to mix in colour to change the backdrop. By act two we are in a watercolour world as he travels to America and then finally a massive video sequence for Mozart's return
