Opening Show Animations

In collaboration with Bebomotion, we created the opening show and immersive stage visuals for Open Beatz Festival 2024. My main focus was the design of environments, textures, and cinematic camera animations. Additional photography from the event is available at https://wayne1313.de/

Stage Visuals: ’Stonelands’

For each stage we created a set of visuals as well. This is an example on the ‘Stonelands’ Stage. My primary responsibility was designing the environments, textures & lightning.
