PROJECTS
Universal 360: A Cinesphere Spectacular
Universal Studios Florida
Universal Studios Florida and Creative Director John Landis approached us to create a visually compelling nightime show to replace the Dynamite Nights Stunt Spectacular. We spent several months prepping 20 minutes of content to video projection map over 4 buildings using twelve 20,000 Lumens projectors, fed by 12 media servers. Our crew spent 2 months onsight working after hours to sync up all 12 projectors. The projectors had to be installed at extreme angles. Making the images fit onto the buildings and domes, created some very challenging work.
3D Projection Mapped Show for "Its a Small World" Amusement Ride
Disney
Disney came to us many years ago to project a visual show on the outside of their "It's a Small World" ride for the holiday season at DisneyLand. We created a magical holiday visual show that attracted their audience to the ride, while maintaining the highly recognizable Disney brand. The Architectural Mapping show, which is now called 3D Video Mapping, added a bit of sparkle and fanfare to their already highly acclaimed ride. We managed to build the spectacle with a 3 projector setup that ran 3 shows per night.
3D Autostereo Logo Animation
Cirque Du Soleil
Cirque Du Soleil came to us with a simple but technically challenging request: they needed something visually exciting to play at their retail store, create strong brand recognition and to enhance their cutting edge performances. We animated their logo's in an innovative way and teamed up with a 3D autostereo screen manufacturer to create custom screens for the spectacular presentation.
Design, Build and Perform the Masquerade 3D Mapped Stage
Sphongle Natiional Tour
When C3 Presents approcached us to create a 3D mapped stage for their international touring act, Shpongle, we were delighted but intimidated. We needed to produce a mind blowing spectacle in a month. We immediately created a working model in 3D, and simultaneously began writing the custom software, animating song-specific content and building the stage out of hi tensile plastic and standard truss. We mounted lighting on semi-round truss to accent the shape of the sculpture and finished it off with two lasers.
3D Autostereo Trailer
Chris Rock Comedy Show
When Chris Rock came to Vegas to do his big show, he called on us to create a spectacle worthy of his comic talents. With all of the advertising campaigns in Vegas, he needed us to create something next level that would stand out in Vega's oversaturated visual arena, and draw the audience into the theater. Working with a 3D autostereo screen manufacturer, we created 3D autostereo content to play on screens outside of Chris Rocks Vegas tour, without the need for 3D glasses.
Animations and Stage Backdrops for 3 Touring Shows
Bellydance Superstars International Tour
Bellydance Superstars came to us to create a visually stunning show that matched and highlighted their amazing dancer's talents. In order to keep the brand recognition strong, we used traditional middle eastern icons to inspire the animations. We have been working with the internationally acclaimed, world touring, Bellydance Superstars for over 6 years and have created 3 completely different stage shows for them -- immersing their dancers in Egyptian, Summerian and Occidental enviroments.
Production Management for Main Stage Visual Team and VJ NightlyBoom festival, Idanha-a-Nova, Portugal
Boom festival brought us in to design a next level stage for the their cutting edge festival held in Portugal. It needed to be amazing at night and during the day. We created a geometric space ship for dj's to perform in, and covered the truss with various sized hexagon screens. Despite the difficulty of safely securing the 3 heavy-duty projectors directly over the dance floor, the display looked great for the 7 day duration of the festival.
Design and Implement a Custom VIdeo Screen
Bassnectar, Rothbury Festival, MI and National Tour
The Rothbury show was a very important night for the artist, and the presentation needed to be as bright, creative and large as possible. After the show, this screen needed to fit onto all of the stages of the upcoming tour, and be easy to travel with on an airplane. After carefully studying the stage sizes, we found the perfect screen size and shape to maximixe our visual footprint. The 24' x 6' screen condensed into a 6' long tube and one 99 lb pelican case, both of which flew as check-in baggage.
VJ Main stage, 3D Mapped Snowflakes, 3D AV Interactive Display
Snowglobe, Lake Tahoe, CA
We were brought into the Snowglobe festival to spice up the visual presentation of their large outdoor festival held in the snow. We created three 3D mapped snowflakes and placed them in prominent positions around the festival grounds, which changed everyday. In addition, we set up an interactive 3D mapped sculpture with sound in the heating tent. Festival attendees were able to 'play' the sclupture with a regular midi keyboard, creating their own original video and audio soundtrack.
Create Environmental Backdrops for Ice Skating Show
Ice: Direct From Russia, Las Vegas, NV
The directors of Ice: Direct From Russia, an acrobatic ice skating show, came to us at the last minute to save the day. They arrived in Vegas all the way from Russia and needed a little more visual flavor to enhance their world renowned show. We used large scale video projections behind and beside the stage to create an environment that enriched their show.
Screen Design, Tech, VJ, Lighting
1015 Folsom, San Francisco, CA
In order to keep a large client base of mostly return customers happy, we created a variety of screens, which were meant to change often. To keep the visual asthetic clean, projectors were mounted discreetly within the truss, and placed in smokeproof boxes. We were brought in to change up the atmosphere and create new looks monthly, as well as for their large shows. The screens were built of inexpensive but fire safe materials. The lights were re-programmed each time to function sybiotically with the screens.
