We concepted, illustrated and animated ambient projections that played in the theater during the performance. Each animation corresponded to the lyrical content and emotional tone of the music.
The Last Ship concert projections were created by combining custom watercolor paintings and textures with archival photography from the Newcastle shipyards of Sting's youth.
