Drawing Up the Blueprints 🏛️
We’ve been working with @blenheimpalace on their Blueprints of Power exhibition with an immersive projection mapping experience that recreates the palace being built, at life-size scale.
For a building with this much history, accuracy was vital. Scaffold, brick and construction detail had to be carefully researched to reflect how Vanbrugh’s masterpiece came to life in the 18th century.
In this reel, our video designer Lou chats with Blenheim’s Keeper of Collections, Carmen and we also hear from production manager Tony about the process behind the project, the historical research and the challenge of translating it all into a fully immersive visual experience.
A dream collaboration in a truly extraordinary space. The exhibition is open until May 31st, let us know what you think!
STUDIO/ AYMO TOUR
Our sister company @_sdio_ have been in Germany, bringing the video design for @aymen82i and @amoooffiziell 's Aymo arena tour.
Built around @mangatacollective 's structural stage design, they created immersive 3D environments inspired by gritty Berlin backstreets and cyberpunk skylines; moody, neon-lit and built for the stage.
With a huge 52-song setlist, this was a serious undertaking, including anamorphic sequences, sci-fi surrealism, and immersive environments built song by song across the full show.
Excellent work, team. Follow @_sdio_ for the full project breakdown and BTS.
Blueprints in Motion 🏛️
We’re back at @blenheimpalace with a new projection mapping installation for the Blueprints of Power exhibition.
This piece brings the construction of the palace to life, a historically accurate, life-size depiction of the site as it would have looked during the early 1700s. Scaffolding rising, bricks stacking, the palace slowly taking shape around you.
Working in such an iconic heritage site like Blenheim is always a delicate balance between respecting the history of the building and using creativity and technology to tell its story in a completely new way.
Swipe for a closer look at the details. 👀
STUDIO/ MOBO AWARDS/ SLICK RICK
@_sdio_ have been up in Manchester for this year's MOBO awards, bringing the show design and video design for @therulernyc .
Award show performances are quick, and with this set being a mash-up of Slick Rick’s biggest hits, the design needed to be all-encompassing, travelling through his back catalogue and style seamlessly in a way that felt impactful and true to Rick.
Excellent job, guys, congratulations to @therulernyc on your Lifetime Achievement Award, and to all of the winners! The highlights are still available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
Follow @_sdio_ for more details, show design breakdown and exclusive BTS.
STUDIO/ ANDREA BOCELLI
Our @_sdio_ team have been over in the states, bringing the video design for @andreabocelliofficial ’s Romanza 30th Anniversary Tour!
Video design for an orchestra needs to be precise, impactful and expansive to stand up to a genre so full of power and emotion. Incredible job, guys!
Head over to @_sdio_ for the project breakdown. 🎺🥁🎶
STUDIO/ JAMES ARTHUR
Our sister company @_sdio_ has been back with @jamesarthur23 , designing some dreamy video content for his Pisces world tour. 🐠
Follow their Instagram for a closer look at the show, their designs, process and inspiration. Well done, team!

Pet Shop Boys - Viña del Mar Festival, Chile 🇨🇱
We're just back from South America, where we supported Pet Shop Boys on a run of Dreamworld tour dates across Santiago, São Paulo, and the iconic Quinta Vergara Amphitheatre at the Viña del Mar Festival - Latin America's largest music festival, with a global broadcast audience in the millions.
Travelling the world with the core tour video package, we also provided an additional six Disguise media servers to Viña del Mar to drive over 1500sqm of LED screen, transforming the venue into Pet Shop Boys’ playground, delivering huge visual impact fit for the legendary venue.
We live for this kind of challenge.
Always a pleasure continuing this journey with Neil, Chris, and the wider crew. 🙏

2025, on rewind 🔄
Looking back on a year packed with events, activations and wild ideas brought to life across the globe 🌍🥰
What sticks with us most are the people behind every project - clients, collaborators, partners, and our own team - coming together again and again to make the impossible possible!
The biggest thank you to everyone who was part of 2025. Your trust, care and graft is what makes this work what it is. ❤️
We’re heading into 2026 curious, energised and ready for whatever’s next.
Bigger ideas. Wilder builds.
Happy New Year 🎉
Juniper Season 🌿
We’re so happy to have been out on the road with the incredible @joycrookes for the Juniper Tour, providing the video production across projection and media servers, shaping the visual atmosphere of the show each night.
The tour, and album it's named after, is built around the spirit of “Juniper”: resilience, strength, and the ability to grow in challenging places. Themes that run through every part of Joy’s music and performance - powerful and resonant, yet playful.
We feel so privileged to help translate that vision visually. 🥰
And of course, always a Joy (pun intended, sorry) to be back working with our mate Jon @xiaolongbao_888 . Couldn’t ask for better company. ✨

All Points Bass 🎚️
Finishing off festival season with @niaarchives at @allpointseastfestival , where we supplied the camera package to capture every beat and bring her set to life throughout the tent.
Nobody is doing it like Nia - bouncing between DJing and vocals, her energy is truly unmatched, getting the crowd moving from the first drop. Our job was to make sure that feeling carried through on screen, supporting @jamescodes ’ powerful visuals, to connect both crowd and stage in energy and intensity.
Another great moment in a busy summer of festivals. Big up @jamescodes for getting us involved. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Nia. 🤘

Looking Back on a Clean Bandit Summer ☀️
From castle courtyards to festival fields, our summer tour with @cleanbandit has been nothing short of unforgettable. We’ve travelled the UK and Europe, bringing @_sdio_ ’s show design to life with production and technical support at some of the season’s biggest festival stages.
There’s something so special about festival season - the long days, the crowds, the energy - and we’re grateful to have been part of it all. As summer winds down, we’re carrying the memories (and the music) with us into the next leg.
Next up: Sweden and Singapore. ✈️
