I am so interested in the growing desire for video and media design in the entertainment industry and how it grows and changes the other facets of a concert. Aerosmith's Las Vegas residency is a stunning display of video design and looks very cohesive and visually connected to the stage surrounding it. It is clear that the lighting designer really took their time in collaborating and working with the media folks. I do start to wonder about content creation and copyright when looking at the images and some being projected old photographs or film from history. I wonder whether it is the responsibility of the designer or the media creation team to secure all the rights, and how they do it, what that process looks like, etc. I think media is a great way to fill a stage with rich content while also allowing it to be a part of the background in a way. It makes me recall old rock and roll tours that have always been just bare stages. They look similar now but are filled with rich media content as well.
