Dubai Business Forum · Opening Film & Stage Visuals

Opening film and panoramic LED-stage visuals for the Dubai Business Forum — Transforming the Business of the Future. A particle-built journey: a dissolving earth, a torus of light over the Dubai skyline, golden vortices, circuit-board data terrain and a robotic hand, resolving on the city at night. The stage frames run at 5.5:1 for the forum’s wraparound screen.
