Kasabian’s UK arena tour is finished and we are getting all our content together to share. It was a heady mix of high-end 2D/3D animation, visual effects and live action. Each track explores the theme of music visualisation with real-time manipulation of content by sound, the band or the crowd. This collaborative project with Andreas Müller (Nanika) explores interactive animation, sound analysis, face tracking, audience participation, live social media elements and live camera feed translation. Check back soon to see how it shaped up.
In the meantime here is a little taster of the show…
“It was like watching the best telly you’ve ever seen — a massive concave screen with spectacular graphics reacting to the thumping bass and guitar riffs. Hats off to the team behind it. They’ve come up with something truly original.” – The Sun
We were commissioned by the British Fashion Council and Bacchus Studio to create six idents for the huge LED screens at Somerset House. Varied footage from London Fashion Week was pieced together in dynamic, geometric patterns and collages. Constantly moving, the overall sensation is a visual ‘hit’ of all things London Fashion Week from backstage to catwalk finale. Liam composed an atmospheric soundtrack for the last in the series.
Based on the concept of light, power and electricity. From the pulsing of a tiny proton particle, to the swirling nuclear mass of a sun. Geometric designs play and pulse over Battersea Power Station giving a sense of a powerful unreleased energy forever emanating from within. Mapping the architecture the structure’s key details are illuminated, evolving throughout the night. Touching on the myriad forms and flow of movement that the concept of electricity conjures.
