Location: Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

Role: disguise Programmer/ Operator

The whole month of November into December 2024 working as a disguise Programmer / Operator for Creative Technology Middle East. I was given the responsibility to projection map multiple mountain shaped set pieces as well as to Programme and Operate the final show, Eid Al Etihad 53.

Performed on December 2 in Al Ain, the show unfolded on the largest-ever stage constructed for the UAE's National Day celebrations. More than 10,000 participants from 81 nationalities, including expatriates, Emiratis, and members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra came together to create the iconic show. It also consisted of large drone show that formed shapes like palm trees and invention illustrations, as well as having 20 camels on stage.

The technical video setup required for this project consisted of six disguise servers outputting to 46 projectors for coverage of the walls, floor and mountain projection. OmniCal was used for aspects of the projection lineup.

The stunning visual content was made and delivered by multi-disciplinary moving image design studio; Luke Halls and the Production company was People.
