Xitelabs delivered a reliable and fast virtual production workflow for Bryson Tiller’s live stream concert on Momenthouse. Each of the performance spaces contained dynamic and musically impactful front plate and back plate virtual content, which was seamlessly married on a disguise gx2c server.
Case Study
BRYSON TILLER’S TRAPSOUL WORLD SERIES CONCERT
Xite Labs blur the boundaries of reality for Bryson Tiller’s live stream concert on Momenthouse.
The 92 Group briefed Xite Labs on the creative direction of four virtual worlds in which Bryson Tiller would perform. Each scene needed to communicate depth and scenic transformation while perfectly matching the music's tone and feeling. The team rendered front plate elements in Notch, which they composited with backplate scenes from Unreal Engine in disguise.
We’re very proud of the cinematic visual art we created for this XR concert performance. Notch played a valuable role in helping us deliver high-quality creative for the front plate and remain very flexible throughout the process.Vello Virkhaus, Creative Director, Xite Labs
Using Notch’s bespoke rendering features, Xite Labs created foliage, atmospheric effects, zero gravity furniture and a dreamy ring nebula system. The program received excellent reviews from the live viewing audience in the Momenthouse chat room. One viewer commented, “Bryson Tiller’s TrapSoul World Series concert visuals are on another level. They fit the vibe of the music perfectly.” Another viewer wrote: “Bryson Tiller wins best visuals for virtual concerts because this is insane. Whoever worked on these truly deserves the best.”
