A unique structure amongst the cityscape of Madrid, The Madrid City Council in conjunction with Samsung closed the streets and sent out the Christmas cheer… ‘Feliz Naivdad’ to a massive audience estimated to be over 100,000 people! This projection mapping event was augmented with fireworks above the 80m high structure that could be seen all over the city.
Stepping into centuries old tunnels under the roads to run cables, marvelling at the architecture’s authenticity, we painted a story of Christmas for the masses!

The concept of ‘dome projection’ conjures up possibilities of total immersion into another reality. It’s one of those unicorn projects one relishes getting their teeth into, but this was no ordinary spherical venue! This was a ‘Rugby Ball’ of EPIC proportions with its own unique challenges to overcome… if stretch and tilt were unique then think… inflatables mean shape changes due to temperatures and wind. To be part of the design team was a truly inspiring and collaborative experience.

One of the worlds iconic brands turned to a New Zealand company to deliver the goods for the birthday! I will always be eternally grateful for the opportunity to work with Mike and Maree @ Inside-Out Productions NZ. To synchronise all the timing (video and live performance) and comms communications for the event. New York, Tokyo and Hong Kong with a fully purposed bespoke portable structure projection mapped on the outside to look like the iconic suitcases that can only be recognised as LV.

An immersive touring experience worldwide for people to learn the difference between a good and a bad whisky (without the ‘e’ because it’s Scottish). This mix of virtual and live hosted experience offered people an experience where they could learn, immerse and even blend their own whisky. A delightful project that saw us tour thru China, Malaysia, Greece, and Russia to name a few.
