Danny Saucedo
Projection mapping and stage design for Danny Saucedo's "Happy That You Found Me" in Melodifestivalen 2024.
A long-held dream to bring something new to the Melodifestivalen stage, realised together with Smash Studio as co-designers. Smash led the design work from 3D modelling to animation, while I served as technical director and creative support. The stage featured three 8 x 4.5m LED walls at 3200 x 1800 pixels each, a 7.9 x 9.1m LED floor at 1664 x 1920 pixels, and a physical Romanesque gate with staircase built for projection mapping.
The visuals move through a moonlit Romanesque evening, a garden resembling Elysium, building to a climax where the gate falls back into open sky.
Architect Rose Hallgren built a physical maquette we used for testing visuals, and I developed a custom Unity camera tool for building a precise direction of photography across the scenes.
