LISA COACHELLA 2025
NOTCH IMAG, 3D DESIGN
In Association With Silent Partners Studio
001// THE PROJECT
Silent Partners Studio hired me as a Notch Designer for LISA’s Coachella 2025 performance at Sahara Tent. Together we created dozens of IMAG Effects as well as a handful of full-stage looks made with Notch 1.0.
In addition to designing the looks, I attended rehearsal to continue refining the looks, validate their performance, and to ensure that d3 Programmer Grant MacDonald had all of the control he needed during show day.
This particle effect for Dream was an elegant accent to Lisa’s bioluminescent costume designed by Asher Levine
This 3D Sculptural backgrop visual was designed and rendered quickly during rehearsal thanks to Notch 1.0
Glass breaking and cracking through the use of displacement maps, masks, and clever programming in Disguise.
002// THE PROCESS
Most of the looks were programmed via exposed paramters in d3, but some of the full-stage content looks were keyframed in the Notch Timeline and ran in d3 as though they were timecoded visuals with some exposed control on top to dial in the looks and add additional hits. This workflow combined the tight musicality of timecode visuals with the flexibility of realtime.
Notch and After Effects were also used to create some pieces for the show during rehearsal.
