Will Cloughley
and Sondra Slade, the collaborative partners of SYNAPSE PRODUCTIONS, are an Immersive Media Design team
who have been working on the West Coast for over 25 years. Both are award winning photographers, media producers, graphic
artists and live event designers who have transformed their personal artistic vision and vast professional expertise into
immersive, multisensory environments for a variety of clients ranging from rock stars to corporate C.E.O’s to New Edge
thinkers.
Synapse’s
original visuals and event designs harness theatrical staging and multiple computer-controlled projection sources to layer in sound and music, lightshows, lasers, video,
interactive performers, Powerpoint, cyberlights and custom
decor, delivering unforgettable live events with high impact emotional experiences.
They bring the same
vision and aesthetic to whatever show they are producing, whether it is the EDS Keynote Address at COMDEX, a Benefit Gala
for the San Francisco Art Institute, a corporate party for the high-tech
industry, or the New Year’s Eve concerts
for the rock band PRIMUS. Their
original images, created over the course of many years, are an alphabet of symbolism.
When woven together,
they comprise a visual Language of the
Archetypal, crafting an evocative sensory
environment that is timeless yet always current, cutting-edge, visually
stunning and emotionally engaging.
