MOMENT FACTORY

(Overview)

Content for Billie Eilish’s online concert in 2020, a live show staged in XR, extended reality. Moment Factory directed it and invited Sila Sveta to create visuals for some of Billie’s signature songs.
The best-known image of Sila Sveta’s part is a set of giant spiders — scale and menace that no physical stage could hold, given to a live performance by the extended-reality set.
In XR the singer performs on a real LED stage while cameras and real-time engines extend the set beyond its walls. The content was built in Unreal Engine and Notch and rendered live in sync with the cameras.
