This is very cool! I'm glad to see that more emphasis and attention is being given to projection work in theatre. While the technology is growing and becoming rather interesting, video still remains one of the "lost children" of the design fields often shrouded somewhere in lighting or scenery. The argument can be made that it is its own field and should deserve more credit; thus, I'm excited to see this cool opportunity. Very cool!

I agree with andrewleitch, I think it's great that there are projection designers and that projection isn't just being pushed off to the Lighting Designer to do. It would be really interesting seeing/working on a show with a complex projection design I haven't really seen it take off yet.
