about the event
When discussing the most ambitious stage and light setups and installations, bordering on the impossible and integrating all media – lasers, thousands of light fixtures, and real-time motion graphics – we must first mention the SETUP studio.
Since its inception 6 years ago, they have set the highest bar and always uncompromisingly demanded the fulfillment of the most complex riders, and experimented with non-standard approaches, which, you must agree, requires considerable courage and self-confidence.
The second point I'd like to address separately is that when implementing projects of this scale, one encounters problems that don't arise in smaller projects.
Over the years, SETUP studio has developed a whole range of in-house developments and proprietary techniques for optimization, working with the project both on-site and during pre-production.
On the Person in Touch 007 stream, we invited the studio's сreative director and co-founder Pavel Zmunchila, who is the brains behind the studio and is directly involved in developing technical solutions using TouchDesigner, GrandMA, Capture, etc.
On the stream, we will discuss SETUP's latest projects, including the RHCP world tour, the challenges and difficulties, and the ideas and motivations behind their projects.
