Northern Light Productions

Northern Light also produced a video projection and audio soundscape depicting the capture and death of Booth, which plays in an object theater representing the tobacco barn in Port Royale, VA, where federal troops finally caught up with Booth. Northern Light produced two immersive ambient audio programs; one soundscape recreates mournful scenes on the streets of Washington in the hours after Lincoln's death. The other, which plays in a recreation of the railroad car that carried Lincoln's casket, features authentic music that was played at Lincoln's many funerals throughout the country, including an original recording of "All people that on Earth do dwell." Northern Light produced an original video for the center's Leadership Gallery; this film incorporates interviews with Academy of Achievement honorees, wonderful original animation and inventive captioning to emphasize the leadership characteristics that Lincoln embodied. Another video exhibit artfully presents the various ways that Lincoln's image and identity have been appropriated in art, advertising, politics, film, toys-and virtually every other imaginable medium- in the century and a half since his death. The exhibits were designed by the creative minds at Split Rock Studios, based in St. Paul, MN. The Center for Education and Leadership was recently featured in the New York Times and on Fox News. The flagship piece that Northern Light produced for the center is the six-screen Lincoln's Legacy Videowall titled, "The Unfinished Work." The museum wanted more than a patriotic salute to Lincoln; they sought a media piece that would engage and provoke consideration. From this vision came this dynamic six-screen videowall which features four young spoken word artists speaking directly to camera, their faces intercut with images that span from the Civil War to the current day. As the show progresses, they are joined by more and more Americans-"We the People"-and at the end of the show, the author is revealed: Abraham Lincoln, re-ordered, remixed, and still relevant.
