FOO FIGHTERS' SUPER BOWL AFTER-SHOW

Meta and Foo Fighters planned a Super Bowl After Show that played in virtual reality inside the Meta Quest VR headset and alternatively as a regular stream on Facebook. Hidden Road worked closely with Supersphere VR, the production company, and Light Sail VR to produce the XR and VFX elements that played in the 2D stream and VR event. 

The stage included a massive floating light ring which became the base for all the designs. The ring was used as a light source for all other particles and objects to allow for a cohesive design palette from song to song. 

Five floating rings of varying thickness and size were added, all able to float, rotate and twist across the backdrop whilst being virtually tracked by stYpe. A sound modifier allowed for sensitive musical animations for the significant movements and keyframed animations to support the motion. Combined, these attributes made the VR experience come alive; the background reflected the band's passionate performance through light and movement.
