Down the Rabbit Hole Again with Mute Math
Jake Jorgovan over at Rabbit Hole Creative hipped me to a project they worked on for MUTEMATH. In collaboration with 44 Production Designs and DWP Live, they used Two Barco HDX-W14 projectors. One projector was used to transform the stage into a pulsing, morphing, 3D work of art and the second projector was used to cover the band in projection.
They designed the system so the LD, Darien Koop, could handle the warp through Pandoras Box in about 15 minutes each night. They programmed the entire show to timecode which was synced via SMPTE to the bands track controls on stage. They also used a GoPro camera system on stage utilizing the HDMI outputs and ran the live IMAG feeds through the Pandora’s box and used video content overlays for effect.

The set piece was treated with high contrast Screen Goo for extra punch. Jake stated “We loved the HDX projectors, they were brand new and super bright. The Screen Goo added a ton of gain, contrast and depth. It looked as if we stacked on another projector.” Content was created in Cinema 4D, After Effects, Quartz Composer and Final Cut Pro.”

Help! I would like to run something like this for a smaller sized display. Would be in a 30′ dome structure. Would also like to have a projection in the entire dome, I have heard that you could do it with one projector and a mirror.
Can anyone help me out and guide me as to what a system like this would cost and what to get?
Probably need a little more info about what it is you’re doing….maybe try posting your question on the Facebook page as it’s a little more conducive to discussion and more people could chime in. One projector and a mirror doesn’t sound like the answer….
looks awesome! good job guys!
