Planning an event?
We work closely with clients to raise the bar and realise fresh new visions. Over the years, we’ve refined our process to ensure every event is more spectacular than the last, and executed without a hitch.

Hitting the process off in person or remotely, we’ll chat about the event, the vision, the vibe. Hash out some ideas, get a feel for what’s possible and make sure we’re all on the same wavelength.

Getting into the specifics, we like to visit the venue and find out everything there is to know about the event, the location, the gear. We’ll sit down and sketch out concepts of what can be achieved within the budget and time-frame.

Once the concepts have been approved, the development phase gets underway. We build, design and code production-ready props, visuals and interactive elements.

Read more
We coordinate ahead of time to ensure everything is set-up and packed away efficiently. With the planning out of the way, we can focus entirely on delivering captivating and memorable experiences.

Rising from the deep, these mesmerising tentacles shift from seaweed to seamonster as 400+ digital layers change dynamically through the night. This spellbinding stage display was projected on custom made canvases to plunge audiences into a vivid aquatic environment.
This interactive installation utilises motion sensors to transpose human movement into a kinetic wall projection. Participants get lost in the moment as their collective actions affect the environment around them in real time.

Constructed, designed and mapped in house, these Shoji Door open to gracefully reveal iconic Japanese landmarks and natural imagery. As the night progresses, the circular canvas fills with stunning swirls of colors, transporting audiences to Tokyo’s neon-lit streets
Crafted to recreate the glam of the roaring 20’s, this art deco stage display takes audiences through an infinitely evolving architectural odyssey.
Combining large-scale props design, powerful projection mapping and custom animation, Te Papa’s main foyer is transformed into Greek ruins as its towering granite pillars are overgrown with ivy.

Using a combination of prop design, discreet rigging and advanced projection mapping, this immersive installation brings the sun within arms reach.
