PROJECT BRIEF


Goal: Create a 30-60 second trailer highlighting Portland Center Stage's 2025 production of 'The Light' by Loy A. Webb. Directed by Chip Miller.


Approach: We worked closely with the shows director, Chip Miller, and PCS Marketing & Communications Director, Katie Watkins, to produce this trailer. Our goal was to capture the energy of show and the rollercoaster of emotions that plays out while maintaining an inviting feel for audiences.


Through our cinematography captured during a live performance and high quality graphics we were able to generate a poignant trailer that communicates the overall feel of the show without giving away too many details while maintaining a consistent visual style with the rest of PCS's marketing for this production.
