IRRESPONSIBLE // 2018The objective of the project was two-fold: initial stage design for Kevin Hart’s “Irresponsible” stand-up tour as well as storyboard / intro direction for dramatic, comedic, and effective walk-out. The project itself had a short timeline, about a month, and I was tasked with story direction and stage iteration and adjustment for various venues. In that time, I created various stage designs and multiple storyboards for review. Creative vision ended up changing multiple times but we settled on a concise, effective walkout solution and a few different design variations based on specific venues.
The Stage
The stage itself was a standard theater in the round, but required substantial lighting and effects for Hart’s intro and exit sequence. It also required a lit 360 overhang, which raised and lowered to create the illusion. Tait Towers led construction of the stage itself after design work was completed. Camera angles also had to be considered for airing the show on Netflix as part of a new special.
