This is probably the coolest project I have had the opportunity to work on for DealerSocket and in general.

I had first heard the track, Us, by Haring on MrSuicideSheep’s YouTube channel (of which I am a huge fan of) and thought the track would be perfect as a theme song for the event which had a secretive/futuristic theme for it. I contacted Haring’s manager and was able to get the rights to use the song and I was able to arrange for him to come perform live at our event. With inspiration from his music, I created the visuals that would match up with the choreography done beautifully by choreographer/dancer, Leighanna Kennett.

There were obviously many challenges as I had to design a cohesive video across 7 separate screens and had to get timing perfectly between the visuals, music and dancers but I am very happy with the result. This would definitely not have been possible without both Haring and Leighanna and it was awesome to both work with and get to know them.
