PRE-SHOW PROGRAMMING

We implemented a 3D pre-visualization of the stage, which allowed us to program custom effects on all three areas of the custom video array: the LED floor, the video towers, and the back wall. This pre-viz allows for pre-show production to happen in the studio, instead of waiting until the week of the event. The preview also assisted the video team in previewing content and looks for the show.

REAL-TIME PANEL MAPPING

Our software now supports multiple pixel-maps and real-time panel mapping, which allows designers to produce stages that can transform and evolve. As premiered at this Red Rocks event, Pretty Lights’ stage had 24 different configurations, by raising and lowering the LED towers with controllable winches. Our media server allowed the towers to be continuously pixel mapped while they moved.

PIXLE-PERFECT CONTENT

RadioEditAV created custom content to fit the stage design as well as animate Pretty Lights’ music. Our software solution adapts to the workflow of digital artist and content designers, by accepting pixel-map content in addition to remapping 1080HD clips for this complex stage configuration on the fly.

DMX PANEL CONTROL

Video Panels were controlled as light fixtures through a professional lighting console. This allowed strobe patterns for the video panels to be sequenced much like how light fixtures are programmed.

GENERATIVE FX

We reproduced Pretty Lights’ signature tracer look, with a generative algorithm that animates across any stage. Originally re-animated for every festival, we worked closely with REAV team to reproduce their original tracer styles with code, freeing up tedious animation hours and allowing for more unique and evolved looks.
