This production was special in every respect. Could there be any better environment for lasers than being on a space ship orbiting planet Earth? In a total of 10 scenes inventive stories were told about the company’s DNA, its innovative and collaborative culture, the handover of the bridge and the start into the future. This time-coded show was intended to be the start of a new era. The spaceship flies with maximum energy into a new future of the company.

Working with many forms of lights (laser, lights, LED walls), combining and synchronizing them all in a very precise manner, controlling colors, patterns, shapes, movements in space, positions, intensity, rhythm to create an immersive and sensitive composition, a form of "intangible light ballet.” Cycle100 was made in honor of the 100th edition of the Brussels Motor Show, featuring the 15 most-used cars in Belgian history.

This production was special in every respect. Could there be any better environment for lasers than being on a space ship orbiting planet Earth? We created the realistic illusion that 2,300 guests have been beamed from spaceport Leipzig directly into the beam hangar of mother ship of the company Progroup. Inventive stories were told about the company’s DNA, its innovative and collaborative culture, the handover of the bridge and the start into the future. One of the highlights was time pirates taking over the bridge, trying to steal the secret of success in a speedy race through the past.

This was the finals of the qualifier to go to Eurovision Song Contest 2023, The client wanted to use banding effects together with “normal static” frames to combine the smooth banding effects together with the normal effects of a laser. A big challenge was to create a show that both looked good for the live audience but also the TV viewers who were the primary audience. In the end we managed to have sections of banding together with the normal effects of a laser that not only looked good for the live audience but also made a stunning show for the TV viewers.

This is one of the most well-known TV shows in Norway, It’s a free concert held outdoors each year during the brightest part of the summer. This makes it hard to have a visible laser show since the sun never sets completely. It’s also a concert that needs to be visible on TV which makes it even harder. The client wanted a classic EDM laser show to enhance the performance for the audience.

The show was one performance in lighting festival. Each performance had human actors or singers. The challenge was to create a show where all the disciplines (surround sound, video, lasers, human performance and light) are well balanced to create a powerful and emotional performance. Viewers were in the middle of a ring surrounded by choir singers and lasers creating a 360 degree show. The choir was prerecorded, the featured singers sang live.

Music: Based on The Beatles "Imagine"

“Huracan” is a new generation of traveling digital laser and water show. Thanks to the use of the most advanced entertainment technologies, the spectator will be projected into an unprecedented story between magic and technology, between mythology and ancient Mayan civilizations. The unpublished story, born from the imagination, is based on the events of Mayan and Aztec mythology, bringing the audience into an ancient mystery, in which a mysterious artifact will become the connection between our world and an intergalactic civilization.

Music: David Chappel “Divebomb”, David Chappel “Tempest”, Dylan Jones “Blood Oath”

"In the heart of Caravaggio and Van Gogh" is a show created for the presentation of the exhibition on these famous artists, on the occasion of Brescia and Bergamo capitals of culture 2023. The exhibition took place inside the local church.

Music: Nightwish “Eva (Orchestral edition)”, David Chappel “Prometheus”

We wanted to take our audiences both back and forward in time. We achieved it by reaching into the style of 'retro science-fiction'. Combining the aesthetic of old video games, synthwave music, cyberpunk story and laser lights gave the unique planetarium experience. Atmospheric and graphics lasers not only emphasize the music but also contribute to the animated story displayed on the dome.

MSR Records (a in-game virtual record company) collaborated with various artists to create this game-derived concert. We designed a total of 63 lasers for it, which were subdivided into 6 functions: 15 laser projection zones consisting of low, medium and high, which radiated over most of the audience; 16 units installed in three V-type Kinetic structures which can change the position of the lasers; 6 lasers installed at a height of 15m for the atmospheric effect of the stage area; 16 laserbars to create more impactful scenes; 8 lasers mapping the dome; and 2 lasers interacting with the LED screen animation.

The laser show was used as the setting for the fairy tale "The Snow Queen.” The designers created the animation beforehand, and the art director mounted the individual pages for the seven stories. The animation was manually turned on by script in real time separately for each zone. It was necessary to adjust the beginning and end of the animation according to the artists' performances. Seventeen performances were shown during the tour.

We made this show on the occasion of the women's ski world cup competition in Sestriere (Italy Dec. 2022). Despite the show being programmed for ten lasers, onsite we installed 28 projectors including a cluster of six lasers in the center of the stage. We decided to use this musical piece since a few months earlier the famous musician John Miles passed away, and we wanted to honor and remember his talent and especially this piece of music that appeals to a universal audience thanks to the presence of different genres (rock, classic, pop). We believe that this music art piece is timeless!

This piece is exclusively laser graphics projected upon the Williamson County Courthouse. Programming the show was a journey of discovery as I learned the inner lines of this Texas courthouse. My goal was to turn the courthouse into something unexpected and beautiful for the residents who see the structure every day in daily life. I used laser mapped graphics, abstracts, and flowing lasers to accomplish this goal.

A fun and positive show about the hustle and bustle of Christmas and miracles. For the show we made 3D character models, rig and animation. It is important to note that the rig was set up not only for the bodies of the characters, but also for the faces. This allowed us to work out the characters' facial expressions. We also developed music and sound design that conveyed the characters' characters and the magical atmosphere of the entire show.

This is a slow show, but not a simple show. An exercise in world building. Treating abstracts as forms that exist in some new reality. Shapes and organisms that follow unknown natural laws. A narrative of motion and transition and intent. Non-standard abstracts that interact and have mass and strange symmetries. The unseen parts of this show are nearly as complex. Traveling opacity mattes and weird motion paths help give solidity and animation to the shapes.There’s an homage to two well-loved science fiction classics in this show. See if you can find them.

Music: Christopher Young, “Accelerated Brundle Disease”

This is a single projector show. It’s just designed to be a few minutes of feel good. There’s lots of dynamic motion and colors and abstracts mapped to surfaces that have rotation and motion applied. There’s lots of layers behind layers and just fun eye candy happening.

Music: Portugal. The Man, “Feel it Still”

I have such a soft spot for electro swing. Fast, funky, and lots of change ups. It just calls out to be made into abstract shows. This is a bright, high energy show that would be perfect in the dome when things get sleepy.  This is non-stop eye candy with big beat abstracts and a surprise dance number.

Music: Tape Five, “A Cool Cat in Town”

This award-winning piece of music was #1 on the US Billboard Chart for 14 weeks and became a worldwide hit single. We tried to capture the power and dynamic of this song and create a rousing and powerful beamshow.

A triumphant, warlike march, accompanied by a gentle play of rainbow beams and swaying, radiant fan effects, opens the beam show "Alea Sharan", based around the grand epic feel of the movie “Gladiator." "Anol shalom" – "now we are free,” the vocals then triumphantly ring out, heralding the second half of the show which envelops the audience in a beautiful dance of laser light that feels like a bold celebration of freedom, a warrior's return to peace after a long, arduous life of battle, and a distinct contrast of an upbeat track emerging from the previous solemn atmosphere.

Music: Hans Zimmer feat. Lisa Gerrard, "The Wheat", "Now We Are Free (Maximus Remix)" from "Gladiator"

Originally adapted for the score from the Hollywood movie "Jungle Cruise" we used this orchestral version of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, to create a very emotional beam show. With this show we try to represent and visualize the magic of this music.

Beast is a little freaky and crazy single projector show not following clear lines all the time. Beams coming from every direction, playing with the music and generating an artistic flow. Also the aim was again to break orders and limits and create contrary effects ending up in a symbiosis.

With this beam show set to Vanessa Mae's "Storm" (a cover of Vivaldi's "Summer III") the designer made sure to have "Hurricane" tap into the full potential of the interplay of visuals and the musical theming: Playfully, the laser beams dance along to the initially flighty strings, accompanied by a capricious gale of fans and tunnels, before settling into a more peaceful pace… only to reveal itself to just be the calm before the raging thunderstorm! "The Heavens thunder and roar" with laser effects and mirror-directed lightning in the second half of the show, culminating in a fulminant finale.

The "Angel of Darkness" invites the audience on a dream-like flight on laser-light "wings": With the addition of soft, pastel-like colors – including brilliant golden orange, purple and pink hues that resemble the rich colors of dawn – the laser choreography mimics the gentle swaying of waves and clouds, allowing the show to convey a feeling of weightlessness. "Walking in the Air" provides the perfect backdrop to the serene journey. The central laser summons dazzling fans, tunnels and shapes as the "Angel" reaches the show's dramatic climax before soaring away in twinkling laser beams.

This song was incredibly epic and I wanted to see how interesting I could get with lasers in a line. I also wanted to have some more freedom in color rather than sticking to a single palette.

The focus of this show lies on the configuration of our laser systems, to create some fantastic effects. For this special arrangement we chose the song “Pantheon” from Sound Adventures found on their album “Nemesis.” Sound Adventures has become the secret weapon of motion picture companies, television networks, ad agencies, theme parks, and special event coordinators.

Shapes without reality, which is recognized by continuously overlapping straight lines of light that do not exist in nature. Flowers that exist in the air are reflected in floating mist. Flowers in spring fall in the wind, and green leaves turn beautiful in autumn. With the art of music, this installation presents the two elements Hika (scattering flowers) and Rakuyo (falling leaves) that remind us of an ever-changing state of impermanence and the transience of life. Projection was on water screen. Installation from Noor festival in Riyadh.

The longest distance covered by a laser light show stretched over 6.01 km and the largest laser show (area covered) of 14,459,160 m² was achieved by Noor Riyadh (KSA), in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on 15 November 2022. Brightening up one of Riyadh’s main roads, “Pulse of Light” featured a choreography of light and lasers that emanated from the city’s most recognizable buildings. Linking architecture with light, the work was produced specifically for Noor Riyadh, an annual festival of light and art.

Two visual artists and their student invite you to the historical building of the Faculty of Architecture and Design of STU, where they use lasers to prepare an eye-catching light installation, creating a game of lines in space. The monumental beam architecture generates an almost immersive environment and draws visitors into the process of creation, flight and levitation. The installation was during the Biela noc 2022 art event.

The intent was to re-create a 1950’s-era ray gun from a B science fiction movie. A mash-up of Roy Lichtenstein and Buck Rogers. We stumbled on a LIDAR unit from a crashed UFO and used that as a template. Our video explains it all.

This is an example of how math and repeating symmetries can describe shapes that occur in nature. In this case a golden lotus is created by sine waves that change the size relationship between two simple circles. Sacred geometry and nature. It’s all the same at the end of the day.

The intent was to create an image of a foggy Christmas night in 19th century London reminiscent of Charles Dickens visual imagery. This incredibly complicated glow-in-the dark (GITD) image comprised of sixty-thousand hand-drawn points and reproduced by a single laser projector. Upon completing the GITD background, the laser then projected a complicated visible overlay along with some traditional laser lumia.

This is a long exposure abstract photograph. It’s from some experimentation I’ve been doing around abstracts with non-standard symmetries and treating abstracts as objects that might actually exist in physical space.
