Urban Visuals’ latest production at the Vancouver Convention Centre was a big hit. Blueprint Events brought Benny Benassi and Armin van Buuren for a double header DJ show, and we provided Stage Design and visual production for the event.

We were so busy with the show that we didn’t get a chance to document, but we found these clips from a happy attendee.

A long shot of the show.

As the first concert to be hosted at the Convention Centre, we had to be sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. The ten video projectors were driven all driven by Modul8 on one Mac Pro and three Macbook Pros. On the LED side, we had 600 nodes of Colorkinetics iflex and 14 CK Colorblaze units all driven by Madrix.

Stage Design for MSTRKRFT and Steve Aoki

In September 2009, we installed an LED canopy and custom screen setup for the Blueprint 12th Anniversary Party at the Commodore Ballroom. The event featured acts Steve Aoki and MSTRKRFT and was sponsored by Red Bull. The show was a blast, and while we didn’t get to document it much, I did find these fantastic photos from David Lang’s site. The LED Canopy is built of 16 panels each 20″ by 96″. Each of the panels can be hung individually or combined in any orientation.

The video screens are custom built 40″ squares that create two 10′ x 10′ screens. It’s always fun to work with irregular screen shapes and especially screens that are made of a selection of smaller screens.

Some short clips are below the photos.

Here’s some video clips we shot of the event.

The LED screen that we installed at Venue in Vancouver has been receiving plenty of great comments. In the month or so since we installed the wall, we’ve been busy programming it and tweaking it to make it look even better.

Check out the photos we’ve found from a variety of blogs and websites.

Circlesquare Live – MIDI driven stage-show

Urban visuals has developed a stage show for the circlesquare live shows that is run by the music being played live. Both the visuals and the lighting are triggered by the music, a midi note sent by the drummer will trigger a specific video to play which in turn controls the colour and animation of the stage lighting. This live show has been performed and several notable festivals including Sonar 2005 and Mutek Mexico 2007.
