This was a really great project and we got to work with a lot of different mediums for this one. We created all custom content for the 3D projection mapped stage that evolved cue by cue with the performance. The custom animations, projection mapping, LED strips, and stage lighting were controlled with a custom video and lights application programmed with Touchdesigner. There were a few scenes that also incorporated real-time animation using motion-tracking cameras. The tech for this show was in development for two years and is still an ongoing process expanding with the performances of First Look Sonoma.
Here is a quick edit of some of the animations and motion graphics I designed.
