Galantis

Galantis Trailer

I was the Creative Director of this show, so here’s an overview. The vibe was a transcendent and ornate social virtual experience… “Church” with no religion. Dolly Parton did a cameo as a 50-foot tall point cloud. I directed, but also did plenty of hands-on.

Intro / “Chat Chant”

I wanted the audience to summon the band in the intro. I made a 3D band logo that formed with particles contributed by the attendees’ messages. I also made the lighting, atmosphere, and chromatic light shafts here (faked - no volumetrics in Unity 2019 SRP), as well as the ‘drum orbs' VFX, a bunch of environment work, camera work, the audio-reactive DJ Table, and BGS (Big Golden Star) effect - plus 30 or so global atmosphere & lighting color states to set mood throughout the show.

Particle People

Dolly Parton guests on this track, so I made her into a 50-foot tall goddess of star dust who dissipates and reforms amidst constellations in-between vocal phrases. Similar treatment for the band’s ‘mascot’, the Sea Fox Girl who sometimes dances at their shows.
