Digital Lightning In A Bottle Festival To Feature Kaytranada, Glitch Mob, TOKiMONSTA — With Visuals Powered By Video Game Engine

The announcement promises performances from fans’ favorite LIB stages, redesigned as digital environments by Vita Motus Design Studio. 

“From the colourful tendrils of the Woogie to the striking bass-heavy temple of Thunder Stage, there’ll be a musical home for everyone,” the announcement states. “By utilizing Unreal Engine technology and leveraging live production expertise, all elements of a real production are able to seamlessly integrate and bring an engaging broadcast to life from various remote locations, including set design, lighting design, video mapped content, embedded performances, camera capture, and more.”

You read that right. Unreal Engine, first used in the “Unreal” first-person shooter game from 1998, is being employed for Lightning In A Bottle

 

“For the first time ever, a branded festival environment has been recreated in a gaming engine to be used for live broadcast,” said Heather Shaw, CEO of Vita Motus Design Studio. “We at Vita Motus think that Lightning in a Bottle is an ideal environment to showcase our realtime rendering capabilities because of its completely unique architecture, iconic design, and immersive content.”

 

Do LaB says it’s all about innovation.
