Red Hot Chili Peppers Unlimited Love Tour, Rogers Centre Toronto. There will be more content from artist pppanik coming soon. We have been working with some of them for a very long time, others are already an important part of our team. SETUP : Among the artists were Josef Pelz, Aurelian Ionus, Alexander Korneev, Arina Adanovskaya, Alexander Dzhezus, Pavel Zmunchila, Maxim Zebrev, Elvin Mamedov. Show content is now dominated by various colored noises, abstract shapes, particle systems or shaders written in GLSL.ĭerivative: What members of the TouchDesigner community contributed to creating content? At first we started working in a figurative style, initially there were a lot of font composition and text generators or 3D models of people, but we soon moved away from this and moved towards abstraction. SETUP : The content was extremely varied. During the performance of the composition the VJ through grandMA can control all of this.ĭerivative: Describe a bit the TouchDesigner content you created for the show. For example, there is a system of particles and using the parameters that grandMA sends to the AP, you can control the generation rate, direction, size and shape of these particles. Another block relates to content management: the choice of scenes, their speed and parameters. It is responsible for choosing which screen to send content to, how to mix layers of content, or how to move content on the screen. The first block refers to the media server part. In our case there are two logical blocks of these parameters (of which there are actually a lot). TouchDesigner knows this protocol well, so it is easy to set up communication between grandMA and TouchDesigner. SETUP : GrandMA sends a set of different parameters to TouchDesigner, which are transmitted via the sACN (Streaming Architecture for Control Networks) protocol which is a DMX protocol over IP networks using UDP.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Unlimited Love Tour Visuals Previz. There are many front and side spotlights, a sidelight that also works with artists and a very powerful setup of light guns controlled by operators. They are also synchronized with the content. Each such matrix is suspended on controlled computer winches, which have a whole variety of choreography and can be at different heights. ![]() These devices sync with the content and work great together. On the sides of the main screen there are four large matrices - large light squares, two matrices on each side. The central screen around the perimeter has pixel diode devices with very bright diodes and a narrow zoom. All this consists of pre-assembled modules, which are then put together. This is the main part of the setup, as well as two side screens on which the artists are broadcast. ![]() So the scene was optimized To clarify, for the tour we came up with a central LED curved screen. We also offered a content management system, generative content and more. A special floor and various bends at the bottom and top of the screen were added to the original concept. Initially we were asked to make content for this screen but we wanted to do more, to come up with a show and improve this concept. It was a curved screen, similar to the one we did for the NECHTO event - a huge screen on the ceiling, curved towards the wall. SETUP : The first concept was originally suggested to us by Scott. Red Hot Chili Peppers Unlimited Love Tour, Stade de France Parisĭerivative: What is the design concept? Who are you designing it with? We caught up with the SETUP team to talk about their experience working on a show this massive and learned how TouchDesigner was used for everything from generating the content itself to assembling the system in which it was generated and acting as an autonomous machine for working with the entire show. Holthaus contracted Studio SETUP, designers of stages, installations and multimedia works of expansive architectural proportions in their own right to produce this content. For the two-hour show duration Chili Pepper fans were rocked and rolled through a transportive journey of legendary hits and new material and treated to an expansive and immersive light and video show so precisely executed we did not see a single frame drop! Central to the show's visual excellence was the idea of Lighting & Production designer Scott Holthaus that it be driven by generative video. With the release of their twelfth studio album Unlimited Love, iconic American rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers launched their Unlimited Love World Tour 2022 with 46 sold-out stadium-capacity shows (thus far). ![]()
