03 PROJECTED REALITY
The room is the starting point
Start with a surface.
Give it a story.
A stage backdrop, a set piece or a wall can become part of the performance. Joe Faratzis combines video production, visual design and show control to explore how content can respond to a space. A focused concept test can establish the direction before committing to a larger installation.
01 / Building the visual world
Content. Surface. Playback.
Three parts of one visual idea. Your quote defines the content, equipment and operation included.
Surface and playback planning
A review of dimensions, projector placement, ambient light and playback needs before equipment and content production are confirmed.
Mapping and live visuals
Surface alignment, content preparation and Resolume-based playback or live visual operation as defined in the project scope.
Where it fits
Band and DJ backdrops, event installations, product reveals, music video sets and immersive room concepts with suitable light and projection conditions.
02 / The making of it
From a space
to an experience.
Begin with a focused concept. Build the content and the setup around what the space can do.
Show us the surface
Send photos, approximate dimensions, room lighting conditions and the intended viewing position. Include any existing projector or screen details.
Develop a focused concept
We agree on the visual direction and whether to begin with a small test, content study or a defined installation.
Prepare and align
Content, equipment responsibilities, mapping time and playback operation are confirmed before the installation or event.
A few details
Before we start.
What is the difference between projection mapping and live visuals?
Projection mapping aligns content to a particular surface or object. Live visuals are content selected or manipulated during a performance, often on a screen or backdrop. A project can use both.
Can we start with a small concept test?
Yes. A focused test can help evaluate a surface and visual direction before expanding the scope. The test deliverables and equipment needs are agreed in advance.
Will projection work in a brightly lit room?
Ambient light can reduce contrast substantially. Room conditions, surface size and equipment need to be assessed before promising a particular result.
Can you use our logo or existing footage?
Yes, suitable supplied assets can be considered in the content plan. You will need permission to use them, and any editing or custom animation is included explicitly in the quote.

Your room. Your music. Your moment.
