The goal of this project is to commission professional sound recordings of dramatic readings of selected passages from Books 1 and 2 of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" to be combined with images of my Milton's Origin Story paintings, along with plates from early editions of Paradise Lost and Renaissance European art available in the public domain in a 15 minute movie telling Milton's origin story for Sin, Death and Hell. A professional videographer will record a tenor-voice reading the narrator lines, a dramatic soprano reading the character Sin, and a bass voice reading Satan's lines. The goal will be met when I have received mp3 files of the requested readings, shared them with my collaborator Prof. Karmen Lenz and we are both satisfied with the sound quality and dramatic interpretations of the voice actors.
Professional sound recordings of dramatic readings of selected passages from Books 1 and 2 of John Milton's “Paradise Lost” were made and then combined with images of my Milton's Origin Story paintings, along with plates from early editions of Paradise Lost and Renaissance European art available in the public domain in a 20 minute video telling Milton's origin story for Sin, Death and Hell. A professional videographer recorded a tenor-voice reading the narrator lines, a dramatic soprano reading the character Sin, and a bass voice reading Satan's and Death's lines. Kathryn Lenz and Karmen Lenz advised, reviewed and provided critique to the voice actors and recording engineer concerning retakes of recordings and selecting/editing final versions for the video. The video was shown on a large screen to audiences on April 3, 8, 18, and 20 and was available for desk-top viewing during museum hours at Karpeles April 10 - 29.
