Sound and Space, Crafting Club Visuals
I’ve been developing my audio-visual skills outside of my coursework, creating visuals to play behind live DJs, and I wanted to incorporate this skill into this project.
This project is a mix of a 3D modelled environment of the Warehouse Project in Manchester, chosen for its instantly recognisable visuals and impressive scale. Having the freedom to create the club visuals over 12 weeks allowed me more control than any visuals I’ve worked on in the past. Here, I was able to sync everything to the exact beat I wanted, resulting in some cool effects. As for the venue, it was trickier, working from the floor plans and promotional pictures available online, even turning to TikTok videos to better understand the stage layout, to create an accurate model. Final touches of lighting and ambient smoke completed the scene, resulting in the final project you see today.
