About me...

My name is Matthew Alberti. I am a video producer, motion graphic designer, and audio-visual technician living in Stamford, CT. I graduated from American University in 2013 with a BA in Film and Media Arts. Below, you can find highlights from my personal portfolio and my time as lead content developer at Stepping Stones Museum for Children.

I leverage technology to create unforgettable programs.

Tech and Designer

Immersive Experiences

Stepping Stones boasted many digital media platforms, not the least of which were two projection-mapped galleries. In each gallery, multiple projectors were edge-blended to create a cohesive image across very large display areas, and both galleries had sound output capabilities. I had the opportunity to work on dozens of multimedia programs which leveraged this technology to create interactive experiences and immersive environments for thousands of museum visitors.

Multimedia Production

At Stepping Stones Museum for Children, I produced educational and promotional videos for in-house and virtual platforms. All production was done in the museum with the help of a small team of enthusiastic staff members who were often casted as voice-over talent or starred in their own video program. Educational videos were geared toward children ten and under so they often featured character animation and bright and vibrant colors. Check out some of the highlights below.

Bird's Flying Lesson: Color

Bird explores subtractive color mixing in this short video. One of the project constraints for Bird's Flying Lesson was that Bird couldn't talk because he is a nonverbal character. I didn't want to rely on text-based graphics to tell the story because this was meant to be displayed on a large display in a gallery, and the target audience generally couldn't read. So, I invented a new dialogic character – a personified raincloud – to deliver the information and drive the story.

Theatrical Performances

I was the projectionist and technician for all of these performances, ensuring the picture and resolution of assets were displayed to the best quality and technical requirements were met. I also programmed video and sound cues. Some performances incorporated live camera feeds into the production.
