An audio-visual show combining a DJ set, custom visuals and scripted light shows.
Please see demo videos below for a few ideas of what's possible.
This idea is a commercial club anthems version of James Hype's "Sync" show concept on a smaller scale aimed at clubs for weekends/student events.
My idea is to have 2 variations of the light and screen set up, to allow for use in different venues.
360 CUBE
THE CUBE SET UP (Similar to the cube idea you did previously)
A 360 cube set up, with LED screens surrounding the DJ in the middle.
LED battons fixed around the cube and moving heads fixed around the top.
Something similar to this image;
FESTIVAL STAGE
A stage set up, built either around or infront of the venues DJ booth or on their stage (if they have one).
This layout is more flexible for different venues, as it allows various different layouts of lighting truss and screens or can even make use of the venues own screen if they already have one installed.
Visuals;
All visuals in the show will be custom made to fit the music/show and will be exported a various different aspect ratios to account for use of our own screens or the venues own screen. (Of course it's not possible to have visuals for every possible screen ratio, the plan would be the have any text/key visuals in the centre of the video to make it easier to adjust where needed).
Lighting;
The lighting for the show is all pre-scripted to the music, due to this the show would require the lighting set up to use the same light fixtures for each show (lights can be left out for smaller shows, but any extra fixtures added would need to be programmed for the whole show - of course where needed to fill bigger spaces extra lights can be added on already used channels to mirror the set up and add more lighting)
Music;
While the show will have pre-planned elements my plan will be to have enough flexibility in the music to still make the DJ set work for the crowd in different venues
Extras;
I'm also considering the posibility of adding extras, depending on the venue layouts etc, such as; confetti cannons, cold sparks, etc.
Notes;
The aim initially would be to target venues where it's possible to add a custom light/screen set up but if the brand becomes more popular it may be possible to extended this to other venues using their own lighting (maybe adding a few bits) however this would require some extra work to program light shows before the event.
The branding / theme of the show is still to be decided but current concept ideas include something similar to the demo video "A Journey Through Sound" or potentially something branded around "ANTHEMS" - both of which I think will be able to cover the big songs from various genres, along with some extra little bits that will work really well with the visuals.
