Artist WOODKID – captured in 4D

20. December 2020

A live performance by Woodkid in Jan Böhmermann’s Cologne studio without the French singer leaving his lockdown in Grenoble?

There’s no such thing as can’t, said “ZDF Magazin Royale” and quickly brought him in as a 4D model to perform together with the Rundfunk Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld.

This had “never really been done anywhere else in the world”, says creative producer Constantin Timm in the making-of video, which reveals more details about the making of the performance. 4Dviews in Grenoble recorded Woodkid in the Greenstudio using photogrammetry. The studio in Cologne had already been measured for augmented reality effects anyway. So the Woodkid model was inserted into a scene set up in Unreal. Dominik Döhler and his Solingen studio from BERG were responsible for the latter and for relighting the model in coordination with the lighting director in the studio.

German audiences where left in amazement, how far ahead public television can be…

Rock Band Avenged Sevenfold goes VR

In cooperation with the start-up Amaze VR, which specialises in virtual concerts, a 26-minute VR experience was created in which fans of the US metal band can experience four songs in changing virtual environments on the VR glasses Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3. The fans can watch one of the songs for free, but have to pay for the others. The experience was also sold together with the VIP ticket at live concerts. In this case, fans could watch the virtual experience together in a room before the concert.

ABBA Voyage – Volumetric Concert

The most expensive tour in history of live performance is not even a tour.

ABBA’s virtual concert series, “ABBA Voyage,” has achieved remarkable financial success since its debut in May 2022 at the custom-built ABBA Arena in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The innovative show features digital avatars of the band members, accompanied by a live 10-piece band, performing 22 of ABBA’s classic hits. As of September 2023, the production has sold over 1.5 million tickets, generating more than $150 million in revenue. The show maintains a 99% attendance rate, with seven performances weekly, each grossing over $2 million. The average ticket price is approximately £85 ($105).

“ABBA Voyage” represents a pioneering model in live entertainment, blending advanced technology with live performance to create a unique concert experience. Its financial achievements and potential for global expansion underscore the viability of virtual performances in the modern music industry.
