“These transformational moments video-designed by Finn Ross are big & blinding, & there are breathtaking displays of fizzing light & crackling sound.”

The highest-grossing animated film of all time, Disney’s ‘Frozen’, made its Broadway debut at the St James Theatre, NYC. Finn Ross and FRAY Studio were tasked with making video content to bring the show to life with a theatrical world of snow, ice and the Northern Lights.
FRAY collaborated with Christopher Oram, Set and Costume designer, and Richard Nutbourne Scenic Studio, to develop a ground-breaking technique. This enabled scenery which looked like stone or wood under normal theatre lighting, to magically transform into ice when a series of custom-made LED screens embedded beneath the scenic surface were activated.
The Aurora Borealis weaved throughout the entire show as a constantly shifting, intricate presence. These lights were wholly created through live rendering using Notch and a Disguise GX2 server.
