In September 2009, in collaboration with Urban Visuals, we installed an LED canopy and custom screen setup for the Blueprint 12th Anniversary Party at the Commodore Ballroom. The event featured acts like Steve Aoki and MSTRKRFT and was sponsored by Red Bull. The LED Canopy is built of 16 panels each 20″x 96″. Each of the panels can be hung individually or combined in any orientation.
The video screens are custom built 40″ squares that create two 10′ x 10′ screens. It’s always fun to work with irregular screen shapes and especially screens that are made of a selection of smaller screens.
The screens on either side of the performers would play video footage that was being fed in from myself and other camera men on stage filming the performers and crowd.
We created custom graphics that fit the screens exactly to make it seem like the squares on the screens were rotating and shifting with the music and in real life.
The team coordinated the visuals on all three screens and synced the live music feed to make the event a cohesive experience feeding your visual and auditory senses.
