Umbra · 00FF00

Multimedia experiment · Nuanu

A multimedia experiment built around chroma-key green (#00FF00) — the studio's investigation into what happens when an entire room is composed in the colour cinema treats as invisible.

  1. Brief

    Compose a single-night multimedia experiment around chroma-key green — the colour the film industry treats as invisible. Build a room that asks the audience: what happens when the canvas is the cancellation.

  2. Approach

    Use #00FF00 as the dominant tone — fabric, light, projection, even costume. Then introduce contrasting colour and form one element at a time, so the audience watches an image build inside the void.

  3. Outcome

    A room flooded with chroma-key green, scored to a slow reveal: figures, objects, and finally a mirrored canopy emerging from the saturation. A multimedia composition that treats green-screen as material, not as a stage of post-production.

  4. Challenges

    Photographing the work without the camera reading the green as keyable. Lighting that maintains saturation across the room. Audience comfort under sustained monochrome — solved with rhythm: short bursts of pure green between contrasting beats.

  5. Result

    A piece that read more as installation than as event — and a portfolio entry for the studio's interest in colour-as-material rather than colour-as-decoration.

Umbra is the studio's multimedia experiment in #00FF00 — chroma-key green, the colour cinema treats as invisible. The piece asks a simple question: what happens when the entire canvas is the cancellation?

I · Green as material

Chroma-key green exists in the camera's vocabulary as a placeholder — a stand-in to be replaced in post-production. Umbra refuses the trade. The green is the work. The audience steps into a saturation that should not be possible to inhabit, and the room composes itself around them.

II · The audience inside the void

Sustained monochrome is unkind to the eye. Umbra accepts this and uses it as rhythm: short bursts of pure green between contrasting beats — gold, white, ultraviolet. The piece ends with a slow restoration of full-spectrum light, like opening a darkroom door.

Treat the cancellation as material; build the work inside it.
