Behind the Design that Reached Across Worlds at LDI 2023 | CHAUVET Professional

"The ask was, 'How do we combine the physical world and the digital world?' There's one problem with CHAUVET Professional, they make a lot of really cool stuff. To be able to incorporate all of that into one booth was an awesome challenge." – Tim Messina, CEO Events United & Studio Lab

"Thank you to CHAUVET Professional for letting us experiment and explore the unknown. To have a company that believes in the vision of blending the digital and physical worlds... I'm really blown away by what we were able to create together and excited for what the future holds." – Ian Messina, Director of Virtual Production

Michael Salvino, Lighting Designer and Programmer:
The lighting fixtures we're using for the silo element are...

... COLORado PXL Curve 12, which are encircling the whole outer ring of the silo. They make it almost like one whole unit, but then we can also break it up into each individual PXL Curve and have them do these huge drastic flows and then bring it back down and it all flows nicely.

... Maverick Storm 4 Profile output is incredible and the color is great. When they come on, in that opening moment, the audience knows there's a show going on.

... Maverick Storm 3 BeamWash really packed a punch with their color and pixels.

... STRIKE blinders really brought that hit moment and brightness when we wanted to warm everyone up.

Tim & Ian elaborate on their approach and design intent:

We really thought about tying everything that's available to us – from Unreal Engine to AI to camera tracking – and we just threw it all at this project as much as possible.

REM 1 video tiles are all hung forty feet high. What we wanted to do is put our aerialist inside of that, with the idea that, as the robot moves, it can see into another world from its perspective.

It's one thing to track a camera perspective to a flat wall, but it's a completely separate thing to track camera perspective to floating walls.

This allowed us to take this whole digital world, build it out from any angle, and render 360° content so that we can see it all the way around us.

There are moments when the video wall is the highlight, moments when the aerialist is the highlight, moments when the lighting is the highlight... when it all converged, when everything is going, we hopefully delivered a bit of sensory overload.
