Deep Dark & Dangerous Mishawaka Takeover
Event Production + Visual Production + Environmental Design
Label takeover of the historic Mishawaka venue featuring immersive experiental design, large scale visual production, custom graphic design, and video content packages.
The Design Brief
Deep Dark and Dangerous invited us out for their first ever takeover at the legendary Mishawaka Amphitheatre. The infamous venue has enthralled many audiences and performers with its beauty and scenic environment - of course we were eager to oversee this project and the intimate environment we would create that night.
The first objective was to fabricate and deploy environmental design pieces and stage components.
The second objective was to create and perform custom video content designed for the stage environment.
Challenges + Obstacles
From concept to deployment.
The Mishawaka Amphitheatre is located on the La Poudre River in a remote canyon two hours outside of Denver. The venue is a complete dead zone so once our team was in the canyon there was no outside contact for support.
Our team needed to deploy a large triple LED wall setup, LED lighting environment, and custom fabricated stage deco to a venue we didn’t have an opportunity to scout beforehand.
Install was day of show so everything had to be prepared and tested off-site using a number of different visualization and planning techniques.
Solutions + Deliverables
Transport, setup, and technical checks all went as envisioned. The challenge of deploying in such a remote canyon forced some unique constraints on the team, leading to many revised and simplified workflows to keep it simple. We planned accordingly, and as such were able to provide a seamless execution from beginning to end.
Our LED lighting package was installed on stage along with our custom deco and a massive three panel LED wall. Custom visual packages curated to each artist portrayed different environments and narrative developments throughout the night. Accompanying lighting performances and audio/visual pairings for specific songs really added to the polish.
These combined efforts culminated in a very intimate, holistic, and comprehensive experience for patrons.
