“Usually we work from a mood board supplied by production, but on this occasion, we created the mood board, which led into style frames.”
“For Wintershome’s performance, we took inspiration from the artists existing artworks and videos. We created a night scene with a snowy mountain backdrop. During the performance, projections affected the tree’s in real-time causing them to change colour. The producer told us James Blunt was going to be at Art on Ice, so we incorporated this into his stage design by creating an ice palace.”
During a one-month production period, Urs and the team created their design using a combination of C4D and Notch.
The team were able to tweak and effect the real-time content using exposed Notch parameters in disguise. The content reacted to the tracked camera position at the same time, without needing to change or create new Notch Blocks. “The combination of Notch and stYpe camera tracking gave us versatility while on set and the opportunity to show off some magic! We could move between live Notch Blocks and pre-rendered Notch content seamlessly, creating a look which I like to describe as the Augmented Window.”
The entire broadcast ran on disguise with every content element made in Notch. The AR and MR elements of the show impressed the viewers at home and the team on set: “Marco and the presenter fell in love with the design and the depth that the AR created. It was a unique experience for them—and a proof of concept for our augmented window.”
