I recently entered a competition to have my stage design built for Electric Daisy Carnival: Las Vegas 2014. This was through the amazing program started by Insomniac and Motorola to bring creative opportunities to music fans through the Discovery Project. The Discovery Project fosters creativity and self expression.
If you are unfamiliar with the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), EDC is an electronic dance music festival that is put on by the company, Insomniac Events. The festival starts at 7pm and ends at 5:30am. Yes, you party and dance and sing through the night. Check out the video below to take a glimpse of what EDC has to offer.
I based my design off the concept of "Dusk Til Dawn", which is a central
theme for the Electric Daisy
Carnival. A giant clock face with exposed gears towers over the DJ booth and sun dial arms help frame the stage. The compass at the bottom represents the traveling people did to get to EDC, and the inscription "1993" represents the founding of Insomniac Events.
Unfortunately, I did not win, but I learned a lot about concert design and visual effects. Designing these types of stages are hard, especially when you have to be cost effective and have very strict restriction and regulations.
Here is a some screen capture of the submission:
Thank You Insomniac and Moto X for opening up the Thanks for reading friends!
