70 Taking the theme of “bonds,” the lighting and video, which were con-trolled from the backstage, projected the images of restoration following the Great East Japan Earthquake onto the stage. The lighting and the CG image produced by NHK ART, was projected onto the entire stage and even onto the ceiling, giving the pow-erful impression that the stage space had dramatically expanded. On stage, the lighting and video effects were coordinated with the jazz dancing and the tempo of the music, producing the illusion that the dancers were freed from the effects of gravity and were floating around the stage. Seiji Kunishige, Director of NHK ART, was in charge of planning for the International Symposium of Visual Production. He explained to us the goals of this event. “For the first time the focus was on the stage. The goal was for broadcasting-related professionals and artists at video pro-duction companies, who are the main visitors to Inter BEE, to be aware that even within the space of a stage, they could create expressions using video and lighting.” He also stated that, “Thanks to the advances in video pro-jection, lighting, and networking equipment, we have arrived at a time when we can make full use of high quality video even on stage, which was the main theme for this event.” Upon completing the Inter BEE Inter-national Symposium of Visual Produc-tion, he expressed ambitions for future plans that seek to expand the possibilities for video.
