IKONIX was engaged as the production designers and managers by Onstage Entertainment to create a captivating and memorable opening act that would wow the audience attending the MEA Annual Awards Night.
The Brief:
Create content and a lighting design to showcase the dancers and the endless possibilities available for events.
The Vision:
IKONIX was engaged as the production designers and managers by Onstage Entertainment to create a captivating and memorable opening act that would wow the audience attending the MEA Annual Awards Night. With many industry professionals in the crowd this was IKONIX’s time to impress with a unique display full of innovative design ideas. IKONIX worked with the hardworking & creative team at Onstage Entertainment to bring this visionary concept to life.
The Process:
Pre-production was an intense two week period of content creation, laser and lighting design/programming plus a lot of work using Capture in our very own custom built pre-vis suite.
IKONIX and the production team also decided to film one of the dancers under black light conditions. Using Notch we were able to duplicate this footage to create 4 dimensional content across the large blend & side projection screens with a final resolution over 4K.
The entire show was also time-coded to ensure the additional elements we were working with (lasers, lights, video) would work together to create a seamless show.
Ikonix Equipment:
In order to provide memorable productions IKONIX has a collection of talented companies behind them and in order to bring this show to life we relied on Notch Media Server. It was decided early on that Notch would be ideal for this show due to its flexibility with colours, textures & camera positions within a 3D space.
We rely heavily on Capture software for all of our pre-vis work, we find it produces the best results and is a user-friendly interface that we and our designers enjoy working with.
We used RTI Neo 6 Lasers – high end, quality lasers we purchased to produce dynamic and flexible results with easy installation and programming.
