Live Music Projections
When the modern classical label 130701 wanted to create an atmospheric presence at the Brighton Festival, Blackbeam Cinematic was brought in to work with projection and light. Using specialist projection gauze, we cast imagery that hovered in the space rather than sitting on a solid surface, giving the performance an ethereal, floating quality. The gauze allowed the visuals to appear and disappear with shifts in lighting, creating a subtle illusion using the majestic venue space to frame the musicians.

The brilliant Swords and Eagles brought Blackbeam in to handle projection for one of their video shoots at the Drumsheds in London. Using the architecture’s monumental surfaces to add texture with projections . It’s an effective approach for large urban environments — projection adds depth and atmosphere without the need for built sets or heavy rigging, letting the cameras move quickly and keep the look consistent.

For Laura Marling’s show at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s Southbank, Blackbeam built an immersive curved projection screen designed specifically for touring. And used Ultra short projector lenses to delivering a consistant setup avoiding the need for overhead rigging of projectors in multple venues. The curve allowed the imagery to wrap subtly around the performance space, giving the visuals more presence without overwhelming the stage.
