Saudi Tour 2023 - Opening Ceremony
Tasks: Art Direction - Motion Design
In January 2023, I was in charge of the visual direction and production of visuals for the Saudi Tour opening ceremony.
The event, conceptualized and produced by MICE International, took place in Al Ula, Saudi Arabia, in the magic Elephant Rock UNESCO heritage site.
For the visual production we covered a 3D mapping on the elephant rock, a 25 minutes performance on a 20x5meters holographic screen on
main stage, and a 9 minutes hybrid drone show, where 3D mapping enhanced the animations made by drones.
Elephant Rock - Drones Show 3D Mapping Visuals
For the first time, we had the opportunity to design visuals for a projection mapping in synchronization with a drone show.
Working closely with MICE International, Lumasky, Giammaria Ravetti and Media Pro we chose to use projection mapping to create a scenario where drones behaved as light sources illuminating the environment around them, resulting in a harmonized and brightful composition that enphatized the beauty of the aerial choreographies and revealed the stunning shapes of the Elephant Rock.

Cartier Runway Show - High Jewelry Collection 2023
Tasks: Visual & Motion Design
For the 2023 Cartier’s High Jewelry Collection runway show, I had the honor of being involved by Art Director Sergio Pappalettera ( Studio Prodesign ) on the production of the visuals for a stunning scenography, designed by Chiara Stephenson, which involved a series of semitransparent circles where projections created a dynamic and multi-layered scenography.
The show, designed and directed by Lulu Helbaek and Simone Ferrari (LuSi), took place inside the historic Salone dei Cinquecento, located inside Palazzo Vecchio, in Florence.
