W1 - LED Art

The show was ok, but there were two moments that I was amazed by the visual and lighting design.

In the video below, you can see the visual in the background was a 3D scene with purple and green lights. And the lights on the stage match with the lights in the virtual scene perfectly. This is a perfect example of bringing the virtual world into reality and combining them cleverly. The best part was when the purple lights on the stage started flashing, the light in the video flashed as well, and virtual lighting in the 3D render lighted up all the virtual objects in the video just like the stage lights could shine through the screen.

The second moment was another excellent example of light working with visuals as an extension of the screen.

The visual in the screen was fire sparks getting more and more intense following the music beats. As the white sparks got more substantial, the stage's flashlights started firing off. Then followed by yellow and orange spotlight, fire in the screen felt like coming out of the screen and filling up the entire stage. It gave me a powerful and satisfying visual effect.

These two were combinations of LED lights, stage lights, and LED screens. However, even they were different media and expressions of LED lights, they worked coherently under smooth collaboration with each other.

These two only kept light on near the screen to bring people's attention to the stage, specifically to the visuals on the screen. The first one conveyed a futuristic mood with a tropical feeling by combining saturated green and purple lights in the tropical setting. The second one delivered a bold yet loud emotion using warmer lights and high-intensity red lights. In both scenes, the lighting designer coherently mixed different sources of lights into one large immersive environment. Furthermore, by bringing elements from visuals on the screen outside, the designer made a flat experience three-dimensional. I think it was a very successful design for a club.
