Illenium at Sphere Las Vegas, show visuals by Comix

Services

01

Show direction and show producing

From concept to opening night: the creative narrative across the set, the brief to every visual department, previsualisation, rehearsals and the first shows, with budgets, schedules and vendors run by one accountable team.

02

Sphere Las Vegas content production

Content for Sphere's 16K wraparound canvas, from full creative direction and real-time Notch integration to screen content for single songs. Eight Sphere productions so far, including Illenium, Backstreet Boys, the Eagles, Kenny Chesney, Carín León and Noche UFC 306.

03

Screen content

Original video for LED and projection, built song by song to the media server spec, with versions for every stage a tour meets: arenas, stadiums, festivals and residencies.

04

Screen producing

Owning everything on the screens when several studios feed one show: specs, resolutions, delivery schedule and the playback handover, so every piece is on the server, tested and cued before first rehearsal.

05

Creative direction

The idea the whole show hangs on. Concept developed with the artist and management, a visual narrative across the set, and one look held together across video, lighting and staging.

06

Notch playback and real-time visuals

Visuals generated live in Notch: audio-driven looks and IMAG camera effects that react to the music and the performer, built on disguise or Resolume and operated on the show by the people who made them.

07

Broadcast and brand visuals

Motion graphics, GFX packages and screen content for keynotes, live summits and brand films, with disguise programming and playback. Recent work for Intercom, Royal Mail and Ted Baker.

08

Sound design

Sound for the moments that need it: show intros, transitions, interludes and visual showpieces, made with the picture so they land as one and delivered to the audio team's spec.

Questions we are often asked

When should we bring Comix in?

As early as possible, and ideally while the stage design is still in development and the venues are booked, so content, lighting and staging are designed together.

Can you take on just one song or one segment?

Yes. Several of our Sphere credits are individual songs within a larger show, delivered to the production's spec and schedule.
