Into This:
Well, that is what I am here to tell you! My amazing partner Richard Quezada over at QAV productions is blessed enough to have Best Buy as a client. So, Richard got a call about doing an event but they want to have a special event, something to make it really stand out. Hence the pictures.
The real bummer about the pictures is that you don't see the dramatic movement in the stars. So to let you know about what Don't Wonder was brought in to do; Richard designed the room and we helped make it look good! I was in charge of lighting and video effects, basically helping to make the room unique. We ligned the room with Colorblast LED's, put a couple Martin Mac 250's behind the stage, hung a couple of Spandex Stars at the back side of the stage, added a 6500 Lumen Profector behind each screen, as well as two lekos with Gobos in them. The clients theme was Invest, Engage, Inspire: Fan the Fire, so thats what we went with!
This is the close up of what the stars looked like when finished!
The real problem here is how do we fill the star but not blind the audience. So we started with a fire video
.
Then, I took a picture of the star,
Made a matte of it in After effects to make it look like this:
Which gave us a look like this:
But, this is a three day event and we want to make it new and fresh so I then worked in After Effects and started playing with the video here:
Which helped give this look:
And then, I really wanted to give them something special, and since they are best buy, we went with this great video look!
Which made the room look spectacular!
And, just so you know, it was not all about video, but I also had some great lighting looks as well!
What a great event! Another great part of this event is we have screens on all sides so it does not limit the presenters to being on the stage in front of the room, they were able to really get into the room and interact with the attendees.
If you have any questions about this event or how we did it, give us a call!
