Thalian Hall is one of America’s most beautiful theaters. It was built in 1858, is a two story brick building with a combination of restrained Classical Revival and flamboyant Late Victorian design elements. Walking into the original lobby is like stepping back in time. The theater is very similar in design to Ford’s Theater in Washington DC. But the theater is no museum, it is full of energy and life, featuring plays, musicals, comedians, concerts and various touring acts and local events. Recently the theater decided to update it’s branding and website. It’s new slogan encapsulates its ethos perfectly: It All Happens Here. Thalian Hall turned to Wallaby Film to provide video for their website and season announcement videos.

It All happens Here
Thalian Hall didn’t have any videos assets when Wallaby Film Production came on board. The first project was filming the theater cinematically. The production team spent a day moving through the beautiful space, highlighting the various parts that makes it such a treasure to the Wilmington community. This includes older features as well as new lighting. It was like a cinematic video tour of the space. The second video was live coverage of the Wilmington Theater Awards to show people what the theater looks like during an event.
These two projects produced a ton of beautiful video which was then used in Thalian Hall’s Season Announcement Video, website, played on screens throughout the hall, and various other uses. This is the begining of a partnership between Thalian Hall and Wallaby and there are plans for additional content in the future, such as additional shoots for new content to show off this building and the performances there, as well as mini documentaries on this unique and gorgeous theater’s fascinating history.
