The Cell
Skrillex's First Major Touring Production
Skrillex, 2011
Created in collaboration with Matheria Studio, V Squared Labs, and Leviathan; The Skrillex Cell was a first of it's kind live show to integrate 3D projection mapping and real-time human motion capture. Skrillex wore a custom motion capture suit while DJing inside the projection mapped Cell structure. Virtual characters including aliens and robots were then rigged to the suit's output, mimicking his exact motions as he performed. The characters were projected behind him in real time as larger than life DJ avatars.
I developed the projection mapping and generative visuals system, and integrated a custom motion capture suit within the Unreal engine.
I toured with the North American "Mothership Tour" and European "Grey Daze Tour." For the European tour we constructed the "Cell 2.0" which was 20% larger than the original North American version. The Cell tours ran between Fall 2011 and Winter 2012.
