3D Mapping / Event Visual Show

Liga Zakon Awards — 3D Mapping Intro Show

A large-scale 3D mapping show for Liga Zakon Awards, created for a live event stage with complex geometry, projection mapping, synchronized visuals and full event video support.

Project Overview

A legal market awards event opened with a stage-scale visual transformation.

Liga Zakon needed a strong emotional opening for the Awards event — a visual moment that would immediately communicate status, precision and the ideology of law.

The stage was not a flat screen. It was a complex scenic structure with columns, window-like shapes, a main screen and a central logo element that all had to work as one unified projection surface.

Lumenstory created the 3D mapping intro show and supported the event with video content throughout the full program.

The Challenge

The content had to fit a real stage, real projectors and a live event with no room for error.

The main technical challenge was the non-flat stage geometry. The projection had to match different planes, decorative volumes and screen elements precisely.

The team also had to work within fixed resolution, projector placement limitations and real venue constraints.

Because this was a live event, even a small mismatch in mapping, timing or playback could break the premium feel of the show. The setup had to be accurate and stable.

Creative Direction

Chaos transforms into law, order and balance.

The visual concept was built around the ideology of law. The stage became a living architectural system where transformation, structure and symmetry represented the movement from chaos to order.

The key wow moment was the illusion of the whole stage breaking apart, collapsing into geometric fragments and then rebuilding into a perfectly ordered structure — a visual metaphor for law bringing balance and structure.

What We Created

A full-stage 3D mapping show with event-ready playback and technical support.

  • Video content support throughout the full event
Production scope
  • Storyboard
  • Animatic
  • 3D animation and motion design
  • Compositing
  • Final adaptation to the real stage format
  • Projector setup, mapping calibration and event support
Process

A production and onsite pipeline built for live-event precision.

01

Storyboard

The intro show logic, legal symbolism and stage transformation sequence were mapped first.

02

Animatic

Timing, scene rhythm and mapping behavior were tested before full production.

03

Content Production

3D animation, motion design, compositing and sound-synced visual sequences were created.

04

Stage Adaptation

The final files were prepared for the real stage geometry, projection resolution and playback format.

05

Onsite Mapping

Projectors were calibrated, mapping was aligned and the event was supported live.

Technical Execution

The technical core was making projection content fit a non-flat physical stage.

The stage consisted of multiple planes and scenic elements, so the content had to be mapped precisely to physical geometry rather than simply projected onto a flat surface.

TouchDesigner and media server workflows were used for 3D mapping setup and playback control, while content production relied on Cinema 4D, After Effects, Houdini and Redshift.

Powerful Christie 20K lumen laser projectors were used to support the scale and brightness required by the event environment.

The most sensitive stage was onsite setup: mapping time before events is always limited, so calibration had to be fast, accurate and stable before guests experienced the show.

Production Notes

Live-event reliability required both content production and onsite technical control.

The project included many revision rounds because of the event format and ongoing client-side adjustments. The team supported the final setup and event playback to make sure the mapping stayed stable.

Client Feedback
The client was satisfied with both the 3D animation and the event support. The event ran without failures or delays, and the mapping looked premium and precisely aligned with the stage structures.
Outcome

A premium opening show that made the stage feel alive.

The event opened with a powerful 3D mapping show that used the full stage as a unified media surface instead of treating it as separate screens and decorations.

The mapping stayed stable, aligned accurately with the scenic structures and created a premium impression during the live event.

The wow effect worked: the audience responded with applause, and the client returned for content for the next event.
