From 2002-2006 we worked extensively to bring our approach of lighting & media integration into new arenas of work. Particularly interesting what the opportunities this approach presented to any TV or FIlm production that was either after a dynamic look, or had the requirement to reference digital content on-set.

In 2005 what we were doing caught the attention of MTV in New York and we were asked to design shows for the Times Square studio. Below is from a show called “Bonus Features Blowout”

Production Design for MTV in 2006, for this Christina Aguilera special we designed all facets of the show including how the cameras would shoot specific scenes of the show.

The objective was to transform an abandoned club into a thriving concept club called “Club Zero”. To realize our design, we used lasers, neon circular truss, cine strobes and video projectors. We also created custom “Club Zero” visuals.
