Concept
To make this ghost story more immersive, Blood Moon was performed in an AirBnB outside of Pittsburgh. I used Philips Hue Wi-Fi enabled LED bulbs to light the show without any traditional stage lights breaking the illusion of a house party gone wrong. I enforced the jumpscares with flickers, created looks with a ghostly chill, and played with smart plugs and simple automation. We controlled the lights with a tablet, using a Nanny Cam hidden in the Master bedroom.
