Dead & Co at The Sphere Vegas, March to May 2025

Since the sphere opened I wanted to create content for a show there and I recently had the chance for the new run of shows for Dead & Co.

Working with the fantastic @treatment_studio and the super talented / awesome Tim Booth and Sam Brickman I created the screen visuals for 'Don't Ease Me In! The piece starts with a stack of CRT TVs filled with custom content based on a psychedelic Wiley character energetically bouncing into place. The screens then run chases of content through them as if changing channel, as well as running IMAG into them.

We then zoom into a screen and turn it into an inverted dance floor full of alien 'spinners' before pulling back out and crashing the whole thing down on the audience in a dramatic climax. Suitably bonkers in the best kind of way. All of the new content for the show by the team was absolutely off the charts in terms of concept and execution and it was amazing to be a small part of creating magic for such a massive screen.
