Schlagerfestival 2017

Assignment

For Het Schlagerfestival, a yearly celebration of schlager music, we were asked to provide lighting design and video content to wow the visitors. With a massive 3 hour show, 42 songs needing a totally different look and feel, and less than 3 days in the venue before the first show, we needed to think out-of-the-box!

Solution

To achieve the most immersive effect, we chose to apply 3D mapping to a ‘blank’ set in this festival style set-up.

To make the most of the short time on site, we used the d3 studio at our offices in Genk and engaged in extensive visualisation. This allowed us to program the vast majority of the lighting and video in advance in a virtual setting, that could then be imported into the lighting console at the venue.
