COLDPLAY - AMERICAN IDOL
// COLDPLAY
AMERICAN IDOL.
THE ROUNDHOUSE, LONDON // 2021
We created cosmic visuals for Coldplay that were 360° projection mapped at the iconic RoundHouse venue!
We have been working closely with Coldplay since 2015! This time we designed the projection for their American Idol performance of the new track Higher Power at the Roundhouse.
Making use of the incredible cylindrical architecture we combined artwork elements with beautiful cosmic textures and flowing animation that responded to the musicality of the track.
MUSIC.
STREAMING.
The performance encompassed a variety of production elements including lighting & lasers, physical floating spheres and a flying drone camera.
We worked closely with the lighting team, to co-ordinate moments where the incredible lighting design took priority and vice versa.
‘THIS WAS OUR FIRST EXPLORATION INTO THE WORLD OF ‘THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES’ AND THIS WOULD GO ON TO INFLUENCE THE DIRECTION OF THE REST OF THE VISUALS WE CREATED FOR THE ALBUM.’
Always such a pleasure exploring cosmic concepts with the Coldplay fam!
