This year Valhalla Sound Circus was the best new Festi experience for sure.
It was a pleasure being asked to do visuals and staging installs with my friend Roland there this year, located just North of Ottawa in Quebec. We worked with the Valhalla team for days on those stages to try and make them perfect for an amazing crowd of base lovers.
We added video mapping with 2x 10k Laser color WUXGA Projectors, custom built sets and controllable led lighting to both the Drakar and Thunder Ground Stage. Vj performances all weekend by Myself and Roland Csach over some of the sickest DubStep and Jungle beats you can hear while in the woods on a picturesque hillside in Quebec. The Entertainment and performances at this event were second to none with amazing aerialists and fire acts major sound and lighting . I had a great time with my Dub Step VJ sets and using some custom beat reactive effects in the video Projection mapping at Thunder Ground.
We also had some major drone fun and I am stoked to finish my edit of some footage captured and share that out.
I loved the music on the Last night at Drakar stage. The base and the vibe were simply beautiful and kept going well into the next morning.

Kudos to the Valhalla video team who did an awesome job on this recap that is just making me fully amped for next year!
I am already crafting lots of new visual treats for next summer that should really twist some necks.
As it snows here in Toronto a few days before Christmas I want to send a Big Shout out to the whole Valhalla SC team who did an incredible job bringing all the elements together that make a great festival experience.

Till 2018 MY CHAMPIONS OF VALHALLA

Dragonfly Twins

 

Dragonfly Twins was a quick projection collaboration I cooked up using a very cool art piece by our friend @Thadea_decora . Some nice results after using Resolume to segment out the areas of the design and make them flow and pop. I wish I had time with this art piece to create more customized animations to do this enchanting design justice. Enjoy these insta posts with some details of the piece.

Adidas Predator Experience at MLS Cup Final

Victory for Toronto FC at the MLS Cup !!!

Another successful installation of the Adidas Predator AR experience .
The Predator Experience is A modified shipping container that contains an augmented projection mapping reality show . 360 video projections surround the guests who step inside the container and experience an immersive audio visual showcase of the Adidas Predator shoe brand relaunch. On top of the projection mapping all around the space, the user holds a large interactive tablet. They can view the shoes close up as AR 3D models as well as a motion captured soccer player showing off some slick soccer moves that you can interact with and activate a cool slow motion effect. Another important element of the activation is the online upload to YouTube of a short shareable video captured live from several feeds and programatically edited into one video with branded bumpers . Users would register to start and then receive this video giving them a chance to share the social media friendly activity.

The projection mapping show within Adidas Predator AR Experience . Without the interactive app in between it is still an awesome av experience. I was pulled onto this project to design and provide the projection mapping technology. The greater Adidas activation is produced by Jam3 @wearejam3 and an impressively diverse collection of contributers from around the world. Notably Patrick Weekes owner of Zemind the interactive app developer did some fine work under pressure , delivering a fully interactive and sharable AR experience in the tightest of deadlines. The container concept design was led by Creative director at Jam3 Dirk Van Ginkle managing the visual design while I worked closely with Technical Director Peter Altamirano and Producer Johanna Stewart over the last 2 months . It took a number of other partners to test and build this high-tech modified shipping container installation. It was a pleasure working with the staff at two other custom creation shops as they built up the standard container into our exact specifications for a self contained public projection AR experience @juiceworks_exhibits And @wondermakr . The project was first launched to great response in L.A at a special event by Adidas for the Tango soccer league finals . Now we just finished the second activation at the big show the MLS Cup finals in Toronto . The install was great and even better Toronto FC won the cup 2 nill. #livevideoart #sgp360 #adidas #heretocreate
