Envision Festival 2026 - luna main stage Visuals and LEDs
Contributed to the visual production of the Luna Main Stage at Envision Festival, Costa Rica.
I created animated projection mapped visuals for live performances while also operating pixel-mapped LED lighting in Resolume throughout the festival.
The Luna stage hosted performances from electronic DJs to live bands and instrumental sets. Highlights from this year's lineup included CloZee, Polo & Pan, Grouch and Emancipator.

Creating the Visuals
The entire visual world came together on-site in the jungle, with only a few days between arriving in Costa Rica and the festival opening.
Animations created in the day were performed live the same night. The quick turnaround meant making fast creative decisions, constantly testing ideas, and adapting the visuals as the environment and performances evolved.
Animating On-Site
Production took place across many temporary workspaces from a jungle hut, to a tree house, to front of house during live shows.
LED Lighting & Live Operation
Using Resolume, I created a set of animated lighting patterns for the pixel-mapped LED system installed by Nat.
These were triggered and adjusted in real time, with colour and movement adapted live to complement the music and atmosphere on stage.
Behind The Scenes
Seeing the stage take shape was a huge part of the process.
As the structure, lighting and projectors were installed, we were able to test how the visuals and lighting would work in the space. This allowed for real-time adjustments, refining how everything interacted with the stage design and environment.
It was also a chance to see the full system come together for the first time, before the festival began.
Below are a few moments I captured from the shows, featuring projections by
Oliver Allaux, Taylor Henson and V. Kash, who led the visuals across the week.
It was a pleasure to be part of such a talented team bringing the stage to life each night.
