Working with Inigo Jones
- Ignition Films worked in collaboration with Bristol University
on what was one of the world's first High Definition DVD's generated
specifically as an academic research tool. Ignition, with Martin White,
Professor of Theatre at the University of Bristol, an international expert
on Jacobean Theatre produced an HD DVD which documents his theatre
research at the highest level. He worked with professional actors on
a reconstruction of an indoor playhouse based on the Inigo Jones drawings
and lit with candlelight, exactly as it would have been in the 17th century.
Shakespeare's Globe will be providing costumes made using authentic methods
and materials.

- In December 2004, in association with Ignition Films, scenes from a
variety of plays were recorded on 4 HiDef cameras (Panasonic 60fps varicam)
and the footage will be authored in such a way that the user can watch
the scenes from 4 different audience perspectives - in Jacobean times as
now, price of seat reflected social class and therefore politic - speeches
to specific audience locations reflected this fact. Other DVD elements
include interviews, a computer generated VR model of the theatre, a record
of the rehearsal period, documentation etc. We shot all elements
of this project on the Panasonic varicam, editing on a Powermac G5 and
producing the project as a standard DVD.
