Discussing ‘The Damnation of Faust’s Visuals with CCM E-Media’s Raul Barcelona
CCM Assistant Professor of Electonic Media Raul Barcelona.
This Saturday, CCM presents a unique multimedia production of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust. CCM E-Media faculty member Raul Barcelona recently discussed his work on the project with CCM Public Information Assistant and Arts Administration student Lillian Matchett.
Lillian Matchett: Could you give me a little background about your work at CCM?
Raul Barcelona: I’ve been here now for almost two years. My role here is Assistant Professor of Electronic Media, and I specifically teach new media and video production classes. My main focus is film making, but in the past I have also worked as a web designer and graphics designer, so I am also teaching some of those new media courses as well.
LM: Could you tell me a little about how you originally got involved with the production of The Damnation of Faust?
RB: Earl Rivers [CCM’s Director of Choral Studies and conductor] approached me to see if I would be interested in developing some visuals for the performance. He had this idea that it’s a work that is very cinematic in nature, even just by itself, and he thought that it would be a good opportunity to collaborate so that the music is accompanied with visuals.
LM: What was your original inspiration for the visuals we’ll see on Saturday?
