    šŸŽ¶šŸŒ Glass Animals' Tour of the Earth ā€“ Read in Installation Magazine ā–¼ With everything performed 100% live and dramatic, ever-changing lighting for each song, maintaining visual consistency for the live camera feed was a creative challenge. 80sixā€™s racks engineer, Samuel Siegel shared insights with Installation Magazine into how we tackled some of the challenges using Blackmagic Design camera system: ā€œOne of the biggest challenges was matching the cameras and ensuring the feed kept pace with the continuously changing colours and lighting conditions. We removed the cameras' gamut compression to prevent automatic desaturation and managed the colours individually from the backstage control desk, which worked perfectly.ā€ šŸ‘€ Read more about this tour using Blackmagic and ROE Visual at the link in comments. #eventprofsuk #tourlife #production

Ā  Famous for his complex arrangements blending jazz, pop and experimental sounds, Jacob Collier captivates audiences by transforming them into harmonious polyphonic choirs.Ā  Ā  At the O2 Arena, he performed across two stages, delivering a standout moment when Coldplay's Chris Martin joined him for a rendition of "Fix You," with the entire crowd singing along under the lights of a mirror ball projection. Ā  For the tour, we delivered a full LED and camera package, including video control infrastructure.

    šŸŒ Horizons: Theatre Tour with Professor Brian Cox šŸŒ’ A Mind-Bending Cosmic Visual Spectacle as Close as You Can Experience It Without Going to Space šŸš€ How do you bring Professor Brian Coxā€™s awe-inspiring scientific ideas to life? With the largest possible LED screens, dynamic visual storytelling and a full orchestra, conducted by Daniel Harding. For the 'Horizons: A 21st Century Space Odyssey' tour across 15 venues in 4 countriesā€”including theatre spaces and the Royal Ballet and Opera in London ā€”80six designed and installed custom LED displays to match the scale of Cox's exploration of the cosmos. āš›ļø We deployed large-scale ROE Visual CB3 and CB5 screens with advanced Brompton Technology Limited image processors to support the vivid visuals of planets and water droplets drifting through space, immersing the audience in a breathtaking atom-splitting sequence. The LED screens became an integral part of the showcase, turning into a spaceship for cosmic travel or a whiteboard for real-time calculations unlocking the universeā€™s greatest mysteries. At 80six studios, we conducted technical rehearsals to ensure flawless execution on the road, rigorously testing multiple LED configurations to address each venueā€™s unique challenges. This special project, spanning months on the road, brought together many synergetic collaborations, including in the video department, where Tom Bushell, 80six's LED processing lead, worked so well alongside video system engineer Henri Latham-Koenig who was in charge of content and video system design. Curious to learn more about this epic project? Check out the full case study on our website. šŸ”—Link in comments. #professorbriancox #theatretour #eventprofsuk #80six #touring #videosolutions
