BTS into my project file for The Untz Festival 2019

Projection Mapping and Live Visuals

The Untz Festival 2019 was held in Mariposa California. I was doing content creation and live visuals on the Wormhole Stage brought to you by Wormhole Entertainment. The stage was designed and built by Simple Machinists.

For this project I used Resolume and Touchdesigner for live visuals.
I mixed a combination of custom animations that were prerendered to be mapped to the stage, as well as realtime 3D plugins to control texturing and lighting in realtime.

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.
