Recently, Production Designer Lenny Sasso and Singer Courtney LaPlante approached SUPERVOID to create a whole visual world to surround and reflect the music of Spiritbox for the Canadian heavy metal band’s tour of their debut album, Eternal Blue. The album’s title was the main inspiration for the band’s chosen colour palette and mood, but the creative team wanted to make what felt like a moving backdrop or physical room rather than simple abstract visuals.
To bring a sense of contrast to the stage, they began the show with a scrim covering the band and featuring the first look of the show: an intricate particle system slowly forming the band’s logo. After that, the scrim dropped, and the multi-tiered video wall behind the band members illuminated, bringing them to the front of the stage. By establishing a rare sense of depth, the team could create a dynamic look that evolved heavily over the course of the show.
