As the song “Free” began, the stage floated up and special laser effects and projections plunged the arena into the depths of the ocean. Submerged in the deep-sea dreamscape, seaweed tumbled from above, and colossal drone-controlled dolphins and whales dipped amid bubbles and magic rain in sync with the music and lyrics. As the aquatic projections froze over to crackling ice at the end of the set, a donut-shaped sunrise appeared in the band’s encore of “It’s Ice” to melt the chill away and restore balance.
VROOM!
Highlighting a selection of short films from the National Film Board (NFB) collection, as well as the 80s cult classic Ghostbusters, the experience used special effects and multimedia content to add a touch of magic to the traditional drive-in experience. Participants were invited to come dressed in costume, and to stop by the Vroom-O-Maton, an interactive photo booth that placed cars and visitors right into the scene, and gave them a shareable souvenir.

On Saturday, September 20, 2014, the United Nations General Assembly and Secretariat buildings lit up in a revolutionary call for action on global climate change.
The spectacular 30-story architectural projection show was created in partnership with the Oceanic Preservation Society, Obscura Digital, and Insurgent Media.
PHISH
My contribution: the “Hour Glass” as a multipurpose center-stage concept. The band played inside it, it was used throughout the show as a lighting and projection surface, and it served as a giant visual countdown for the new year’s show.
