Brief
The BMW Brand Business Summit in Munich, staged for BMW's top global dealership network. The centrepiece was a hologram car race: the iVision Dynamics concept car and the i8 Roadster given their first public preview as holograms moving across an autonomous stage system, synchronised to live performance and 360 sound.

Backstory

In early 2018, I worked with BMW and The Department as a Content Producer on the BMW BBS Hologram Show in Munich, an ambitious project combining live performance with cutting-edge holographic technology.

My role involved project-managing the content creation process, working closely with creative studios and external suppliers. I carried out extensive research and sourced archival material to ensure the final visuals were both impactful and aligned with the brand's story.

On the technical side, I supported complex show elements like timecode synchronisation, automation sequences and precision car movements. The car itself was mounted on a robotic platform that let it race the hologram around the stage, with a live actor interacting with the projection in real time. Coordinating all of that during rehearsals took close collaboration with engineering teams and a sharp focus on detail.

A genuine push at the limits of live production, with high-spec tech and creative storytelling each holding up their end.
