REAL TIME responsive performance visuals

CHALLENGE:

Manulife wanted to create an interactive experience like no other during the opening and closing performances as well as their awards ceremony. We were tasked to innovate and inspire in a theatrical and entertaining way that exceeded the guests’ expectations.

TRANSFORMATION: 

Using dynamic responsive technology around the core theme, Aurora Borealis we created two visual and interactive experiences using motion tracking and dynamic audio response systems. Set to a live classical piano performance, we created tracking and visuals that responded to the sound of Mozart and Chopin in real time. Visuals included an interpretation of the Aurora Borealis with star like particles that distorted and reacted to the performer’s sound and emitted shooting effects as he played to add a 3D texture to the performance.

RESULT:
The addition of the responsive technology to the program changed the dynamics of the awards show and resulted in a broadcast caliber experience. The emotion and precision of the piano performance married with the responsive visual storytelling left the the Honourees with memories of an unforgettable evening of being a Star of Excellence.
