The production was created for an undisclosed client event launching a large product line across the U.S. The shots here show some of the rehearsals that we were allowed to film working with the dance theatre organization Pilobolus. Pilobolus has performed over 100 choreographic works in more than 64 countries around the world, and has been featured on the 79th Annual Academy Awards, The Oprah Winfrey Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Their style utilizes jaw dropping athleticism and transformations to create their unique dance Vocabulary.
We worked with the group to choreograph and capture an integrated performance, that was split between animated 3D digital doubles interacting on a large 100FT LED stage backdrop and a physical space in front.
We staged a performance space where the actors could access the platform from all screen sides including the top down using a rear platform that allowed them to be seen towering behind the screen.
We designed custom LED suites that synchronized with the digital doubles, timed to music, as well as dramatic stage lighting.
We also delivered a supporting design system / visual identity package as well as visuals for a number of secondary acts. Leading to a dramatic night of informative entertainment.
