Production Design:
Amoeba
song by Claire Cottrill
production design concept by Jade Lo
venue: SNL Musical Soundstage
Fundamentals of Design II, Spring 2022 As my final project for my Fundamentals of Design Class, I was tasked with creating production design for a musical performance. I chose to stage the song “Amoeba” by American singer-songwriter Clairo as an intimate late-night television performance.
Drawing upon the song’s themes of growing up and changing, I decided to emulate the shelter of a childhood bedroom onstage as a physical manifestation of one’s comfort zone. I combined this space with fluid shapes and gradually abstracted projections to evoke a petri dish, embodying the self-scrutiny of looking at oneself through a microscopic lens.
