DAVE: Live at the brits 2020

While working for Bluman Associates, Kyle got the priveledge to work on a first of its kind show that aired live during the Brits 2020.

Kyle's role on this job was focused on understanding the XR workflow, a brand new feature being developed by disguise. With each technical role meticulously managed by Bluman Associates and the creative roles by Stout Studio, it was imperative that the XR workflow be understood thouroughly and be calibrated correctly on the show day.

Bluman Associates used an infrared Mo-Sys Engineering StarTracker facing down with black retro reflective stickers placed on the stage floor. StarTracker generated off-set coordinates and tracked the position of the camera at all times, enabling the projection to be locked onto the piano for a seamless viewing experience.

The wireless StarTracker gave the steadicam operator the freedom to move around the whole piano, whilst the tracking data and camera feed were being sent wirelessly to the master control room backstage. This enabled the 2D light projection to appear 3D with natural depth and adaptive perspective.

We worked tirelessly to refine the tracking results and developing a working and reliable workflow to be used on show day.
