LCS Summer Opening Ceremony
The LCS Summer Championship completed 10 years in 2022 and we were invited by Riot Games to produce this year’s Opening Ceremony, hosted at the Chicago Bulls’ United Center!
To celebrate the championship history, we were inspired to create a trip through the glorious memories and the defeated wastelands of the LCS Championship. Using projection mapping, we developed a forced perspective tunnel that would guide the audience through the narrative, creating a thrilling visual experience, both live and broadcast. For 3.5 months of production, we worked really close to Riot’s team, defining and validating each detail of this glorious presentation. The outcome was a blast!
But even though every player wants a spot in the hall of glory, it’s time to BURN IT DOWN and say hello to a new era! Our trip ends up taken by flames, broken glass, quick transformations and intense rhythm to show that every player is here to make its own history. A sick motion fired up with Jaxson Gamble’s awesome song.
