That said, I will also need for Millumin to create the feathering/softedge. This "should" be straightforward correction as we will have a head-on shot of our surface, but it's critical that I am able to adjust each of the three regions so that they precisely overlap, and that right angles and linearity of the grids is maintained.įor these reasons, I feel that the method that I proposed is more optimal, as I will have the means to adjust each projector's warping independently. Once this is achieved, the top, center, and bottom-as this is a vertical blend in portrait mode-will be aligned by the projectionist to a point sufficient for me to take over in Millumin. Each stack of three will be converged at the projector via physical alignment as well as digital correction so that their internal grids align. We will have three triple stacks of projectors-triple stacks for intensity. I believe that this is not the approach that would work for me. It is very important to me that I go into this project with complete confidence in that I will have the tools in hand to achieve 100% success. Let me first say that I am very thankful for your time. Finally, d3 renders the Notch scene in realtime based on tracking data, and maps the visuals to 4 auto-blended projectors.Hello. Virtual "Repeller" objects displace the water exactly in the location of people's physical sticks, which have Blackrax tracker points attached. AV supplier Hawthorn reached out to BAJT to create the vision where guests are invited to put a stick into the ‘water’ and watch it react to their touch.īAJT created a system using a combination of the realtime visual engine Notch, mediaserver d3 and tracking technology Blacktrax Created in Notch, the waterfall stems from 64,000 particles that feed into additional fluid dynamics systems, resulting in the effect of abstract flowing water. The show features performances by some the biggest names in music today.Īs part of the Adobe Summit EMEA 2017, Taylor Bennett Partners designed a concept of an interactive digital waterfall. MTV EMA (European Music Awards) the annual presentation ceremony ceremony broadcast live on MTV Europe, Channel 5 and most of the international MTV channels as well as online. This allowed a ‘virtual live experience’, in this case with the hosts Little Mix to be filmed as live, with a multiple number of cameras to cut between, all on site at one of London’s biggest green screen studios. A part of Bild Studio’s large team of technical specialist in the creation of a ground breaking live VFX design for MTV European Music Awards 2020.īild Studios designed a workflow that allowed a seemless combination of physical and virtual worlds using a a number of different softwares and kit including ‘disguise’, ‘Unreal Engine’, ‘Mo-Sys’ Camera tracking. Weeks spent towards the end of 2020, working both from home as well as later on site.

With an estimated budget of $18 billion, and coinciding with UAE’s 50th Anniversary, EXPO 2020 was one of the biggest ever seen. Expo 2020 was made up of three districts, Opportunity, Sustainability, and Mobility. The first EXPO to be held in the Middle East, with over 192 countries participating. On the DMA stage, VX4 disguise servers outputted to one wide aspect upstage LED screen alongside broadcast.

Additional custom LED was required for broadcast. The technical setup on the Jubilee stage consisted of VX4 disguise servers, delivering content onto one large upstage LED screen, two images as well as a surtitle. Acts included pop stars such as Christina Aguilera, KPOP stars such as ‘PSY’, and Grammy award-winning Snarky Puppy, cultural icons such as Bueno Vista Social Club, and a host of international DJs. Around 160 shows managed by various International Pavilions and their staff, meant there were more than 600+ hours of programming completed by the team. With over 650 shows delivered on the Jubilee Stage alone, this was by far one of the largest cultural festivals hosted in Dubai. The role required me to work as part of a small team, as a senior disguise operator to assist with the programming and running content across two large LED screens on two of the biggest stages at EXPO 2020, Jubilee Park and Dubai Millennium Amphitheatre (DMA). I spent six months working at EXPO 2020 between September 2021 – April 2022 as a disguise Programmer / Operator for Creative Technology Middle East.
