CAMP x Alchemist // Las Vegas

CAMP x Alchemist was a high end dining experience produced by PHNTM in collaboration with Alchemist, an experiential dining group based in Copenhagen. Over Super Bowl 2024 weekend in Las Vegas, we produced three of these dining experiences, which lasted over four hours and involved a number of complex immersive scenes played back on 20 Disguise servers with custom interactive floors for each scene created in Notch. I worked with digital media company Dark Matter to create these interactive floor animations using Notch and integrate them with a custom persistent tracking system utilizing the Illuminarium’s lidar array.

In order to create these complex immersive visuals in an irregularly shaped high aspect ratio room, I used a variety of digital media tricks to spread visuals created by the Alchemist team across the many seperate surfaces of the Illuminarium and to format and output these scenes as files for each of the disguise servers. This project involved the development of internal previsualization tools for this very unique venue, and complex batch transcoding with FFMPEG. Finally, I also acted as the on site technician for the events and performed show control from a redundant hot swappable pair of custom show control PCs.
