More details from VER (www.verrents.com):
Collaborating closely with Vision Factory Show Designer, Sam Tozer, the VER London operation are proud to have supported the tour with a comprehensive video, projection and lighting package that helped realize the Designer’s state of the art, creative vision for the shows. Set against a 9 x 4 meter upstage LED wall, the show blends live performance with filmed footage, cutting edge graphics and intense color that silhouettes the artist at work.
Speaking about the show’s visual elements, Sam says “Tokio Myers Our Generation Tour design revolved around the basic idea of cinematography and immersing Tokio in a halo like parallel cube of light. I found using VER high definition video screen brought out the rich textures and colors of the content and allowed myself to create stark silhouette moments throughout the performance. Alongside we toured 5 projectors used as a light source casting beams and saturating the stage with abstract imagery”.
The lighting design that accompanies the show has been carefully crafted to complement both the visual and musical impact of each performance, helping bring an additional dimension to the production.
Sam continues “Above and around the stage was a collection of Solaris Flares, GLP x4 Bar 20’s and Viper Performance’s that sat in harmony with the video elements. Together with lighting package also supplied by VER I found both crew and equipment a great catch for this design and performance”.
