LiveDesign: The video design took a large team of talented designers working extremely quickly for Michael Jackson ONE™ at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Longtime collaborators Raymond St-Jean and Jimmy Lakatos led the team, which needed to roll with the punches while creating complicated and riveting imagery. While Lakatos considers his purview to be “video scenography,” St-Jean designs the images and graphic language of the piece. “My skill is more to make sure the integration of the content will be efficient,” Lakatos says. St-Jean and Lakatos brought in collaborators at Fly Studio, including Jean-François Talbot, to generate the actual imagery and content.

Having seen the show in Vegas, and enjoying the technical elements greatly, it seemed like the system worked very well for what they were trying to do with it. AS they mentioned, they did not want to overwhelm the actors with the video, and thus used projectors instead of LED screens, I felt that the design of the lighting and video together did greatly overwhelm the actors, i was not sure where to look with all of the lighting and video effects running.
