Camila Cabello TikTok Concert

Camila Cabello’s concert on TikTok to celebrate the release of her new album, Familia. was a virtual interactive experience for fans across the world.

Silent Partners and XR Studios created XR content for TikTok’s first-ever live concert, featuring singer Camila Cabello. Working together with Camila Cabello’s Creative Director, Charlotte Rutherford, the team envisaged bringing each song to life in an immersive way through layering the virtual environment with the practical set design, choreography, and wardrobe styling. Inspiration was drawn from Camila’s Latin heritage, the films of Pedro Almodovar and Alice in Wonderland, and musicals’ of the 40s & 50s.

For psychofreak, the choreographer assisted in creating hypnotising visuals that were synchronised to their movements. A 3D world was built of black and white stripes continuously animating and changing shape to the beat. Notch allowed for the world to be animated layer by layer in real-time. Beat pulse modifiers allowed easy automation and timing of the lighting to the music while keyframing directly on the Notch timeline and were used for some of the more notable moments.

For Everyone at this Party, the team modelled a cavernous space filled with sculptures and surreal visuals projected to encapsulate Camila’s emotional performance. Notch was used to create a high-quality marble interior with virtual projected content, effortlessly achieving this look.

 “This live stream was a journey of the last few years of XR musical performances. The technology and creative output of the workflow have expanded and grown over time, and this concert represented a big jump in production quality and boundary-pushing looks, made possible by Notch.”
