Lighting Design

Bloomberg and Vanity Fair decorated the lawn of the the French ambassador’s residence for their celebrity-filled party after the dinner on Saturday night.

Chandeliers hang underneath tables at Capitol File's event, produced by Gala Design Group.

In the dining area, the design team installed a disc designed to mimic the sun. Suspended on a track that ran the length of the pier, the structure was operated by a metronomic clock that with every count of a second, moved it two inches.

The Warner Brothers International Television Distribution gala filled the Burbank lot with digital mapping, costumed entertainers, and an array of pyrotechnic stunts and decor.

Just outside the gallery, lighting designer Bentley Meeker illuminated the corridor walls with red and blue floor lamps.

On November 15, Porsche AG in combination with Porsche Cars North America hosted a media-only party at Vibiana for about 400 guests.

Dinner and cocktails were also on tap at Porsche's party, where dramatic purple and red tones bathed Vibiana.

The West Hollywood venue—decked with leaf-shaped projections from Felix Lighting—hosted celebrity guests like Aziz Ansari, Mark Cuban, Elisha Cuthbert, and dozens more.

Digital mapping on Notre Dame de la Treille was a show in itself. The mapping displayed everything from large hands appearing to sketch the building to leafy green plants sprouting out of the facade. At the end, the church lit up like a pinball machine in bright colors. Throughout the show, sound effects included church bells, ghostly-sounding choirs, and creaky doors.

Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry hosted its black-tie gala, the Columbian Ball, on Saturday. The museum was originally built for the famous 1893 World’s Fair, and its history played into the decor. In the dinner tent, Heffernan Morgan Ronsley projected vintage photos of the museum onto cyclone-shaped fabric sculptures.

For the performance, the organizers worked with the museum's in-house audiovisual team to layer shapes and graphics over a movie from RZA.
