"V STAGE"
THIS IMMERSIVE STAGE DESIGN FEATURES A SYMMETRICAL V-FORMATION THAT ACTS AS BOTH VISUAL COMPASS AND NARRATIVE ANCHOR. THE TWO MASSIVE REAR LED PANELS RISE AND DESCEND LIKE MONOLITHIC GATES, RESHAPING SPACE IN REAL TIME. THEIR MOTION SERVES AS BOTH TRANSITION DEVICE AND EMOTIONAL AMPLIFIER, ECHOING THE DYNAMIC ENERGY OF THE PERFORMANCE.

THE MAIN STAGE FRAME HOLDS BUILT IN KINETIC PLATFORMS THAT ASCEND, TILT, AND TRANSFORM. THESE FOUR MODULAR LIFTS CREATE CHOREOGRAPHIC FUNCTION AND CONCEPTUAL WEIGHT. THEY ALLOW FOR EVOLVING FORMATIONS, SURPRISE REVEALS, AND LAYERED VISUAL STORYTELLING.
STRETCHING OUT LIKE VEINS OF ENERGY, LINEAR LIGHTING BARS EXTEND FROM MAIN STAGE AND THREAD THROUGH AUDIENCE. AS THEY PULSE, SWEEP, OR FLICKER IN SYNC WITH THE SHOWS RHYTHM, THEY DISSOLVE BETWEEN PERFORMER AND CROWD. FIRING LIGHT INTO THE SPACE. WHETHER 20,000 ARENA OR 50,000 STADIUM, THE CONCEPT ALLOWS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL TO BE TOUCHED BY THE SHOW DIRECTION.
AT THE BASE OPPOSITE IS A B-STAGE WHICH ALLOWS THE MAIN STAGE TO HOVER OVER FOR INTIMATE CROWD MOMENTS, VIA AN OVERHEAD BRIDGE/FLYOVER, INVITING FINAL MOMENTS OF CONNECTION BETWEEN AUDIENCE AND ARTIST.

PRISIM VEIL STAGE DESIGN:
BRANDON S. PHILLIPS FOR 144WORLD STUDIO
DESIGNED AS AN ANGULAR, REFLECTIVE STRUCTURE COCOON WITH BUILT-IN LED SCREENS, THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF SPATIAL DESIGN, OPTICAL ILLUSION AND EXPERIENTIAL STORYTELLING, THIS TRANSFORMATIVE FIXTURE SERVES AS BOTH A SHELTER AND A SPECTACLE.
AT FIRST, IT ENCLOSES THE PERFORMER WITHIN ITS GEOMETRIC SHELL, A FORTRESS OF ILLUSION AND MYSTERY.
AS THE PERFORMANCE UNFOLDS, THE STRUCTURE BEGINS TO SHIFT—PANELS SPLIT, SECTIONS FOLD OUTWARD, AND HIDDEN DIMENSIONS EMERGE, REVEALING THE ARTIST IN A SYNCHRONIZED DANCE BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY AND HUMAN PRESENCE.
THE REFLECTIVE SURFACES DISTORT AND AMPLIFY THE SPACE, WHILE THE LED SCREENS ACT AS BOTH PROTECTORS AND STORYTELLERS, DISPLAYING IMMERSIVE VISUALS THAT EVOLVE WITH THE PERFORMANCE. BURIED INSIDE ARE FULL RANGE PYROTECHNICS, LIGHTING RIGS +, INSPIRED BY THE MECHANICS OF TRANSFORMERS.
THE STAGE DESIGN AND NARRATIVE SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS BETWEEN STATES, CREATING A DYNAMIC INTERPLAY OF CONCEALMENT AND REVELATION. THE VEIL IS SIMULTANEOUSLY A PERFORMANCE SPACE AS IS AN EVOLVING NARRATIVE, WHERE LIGHT, MOTION, AND FORM BLUR BETWEEN THE REAL AND THE SURREAL

ENCAPSULATED IN THIS STAGE DESIGN IS A DYNAMIC KINETIC FIXTURE ON TRACK-MOUNTED STRUCTURE THAT COMMANDS THE SPACE WITH ITS OWN UNIQUE UNFOLDING . WITH THE USE OF 3D MODEL FACIAL BLENDING & FULL-RANGE MOTION, THIS FIXTURE TRAVERSES THE LENGTH OF THE STAGE, ITS MOVEMENTS PERFECTLY SYNCHRONIZED WITH THE EVOLVING NARRATIVE.
AT PIVOTAL MOMENTS, IT IGNITES, RELEASING CONTROLLED BURSTS OF FIRE THAT PUNCTUATE THE PERFORMANCE WITH VISCERAL INTENSITY.
BENEATH THE SURFACE LIES A 4K UNDER-FLOOR ECOSYSTEM, INTEGRATING LIVE MOTION GRAPHICS THAT RESPOND TO THE KINETIC ENERGY ABOVE. SURROUNDING THE PERFORMERS, PULSE LIGHTS AND FULL-RANGE MOTION LED SCREENS CONSTRUCT A FLUID, IMMERSIVE ENVIRONMENT, SHIFTING THE AUDIENCE’S PERCEPTION OF SPACE AND TIME. THIS MULTI-DIMENSIONAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN KINETIC ELEMENTS, REACTIVE VISUALS, AND DYNAMIC LIGHTING ENCAPSULATES AN ECOSYSTEM THAT IS AS MUCH A CHARACTER AS THE PERFORMERS THEMSELVES—A BOLD EXPLORATION OF MOVEMENT, EMOTION, BLURRING LINE BETWEEN TECHNOLOGY AND ARTISTRY.

BSP x NIKE AMS97
CONCEPT AND INSPIRATION:
UTILIZING NIKE CUSTOMIZATION TOOL TO CREATE A DESIGN THAT BLENDS MODERN STREETWEAR AESTHETICS WITH RETRO INFLUENCES. THE ORANGE, CREAM, AND METALLIC ACCENTS PAY HOMAGE TO VINTAGE SPORTSWEAR, WHILE MAINTAINING A SLEEK, FUTURISTIC SILHOUETTE.
DESIGN PROCESS:
EXPLORED MATERIAL COMBINATIONS, EXPERIMENTING WITH REFLECTIVE SILVER TO CREATE A DYNAMIC LOOK UNDER DIFFERENT LIGHTING. THE BOLD ORANGE LAYER SYMBOLIZES ENERGY AND CREATIVITY, WHILE THE NEUTRAL TONES BALANCE OUT THE DESIGN.
REFLECTIVE SILVER ACCENTS WERE CHOSEN TO ADD VISUAL DEPTH, CATCHING LIGHT AND CREATING A DYNAMIC LOOK WHEN IN MOTION OR DIFFERENT LIGHTING CONDITIONS. BREATHABLE MESH UPPER, IDEAL FOR PERFORMANCE, ALLOWING AIRFLOW WHILE ENSURING COMFORT FOR ALL-DAY WEAR.
PURPOSE:
THIS DESIGN SHOWCASES ABILITY TO ELEVATE EVERYDAY WEAR WITH PERSONALIZED DETAILS, BLENDING FASHION AND FUNCTION. I AIM TO BRING THIS SAME LEVEL OF INTENTIONALITY AND CREATIVITY TO FUTURE BRAND COLLABORATIONS

THE STAGE’S CONCEPT DESIGN IS ROOTED IN THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN LIGHT AND SHADOW, HARNESSING MINIMALISM TO ALLOW PERFORMERS TO TAKE CENTER STAGE WHILE SUBTLE, IMPACTFUL LIGHTING CREATES THE ATMOSPHERE. THE GEOMETRIC AND CIRCULAR ARRANGEMENTS ENHANCE SPATIAL FLOW, MAKING IT PERFECT FOR CHOREOGRAPHED MOVEMENTS AND LARGE CASTS.
BACKLIT STRUCTURES AND SOFT LIGHTING ENCAPSULATE A FUTURISTIC YET TIMELESS DESIGN LANGUAGE. THE LIGHTS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE STAGE FOCUS ATTENTION INWARD, GIVING THE ILLUSION OF A "FLOATING" PERFORMANCE SPACE.

project: bloom [a]
creative/art direction: brandon phillips
bloom (a) - process of exploring themes of identity, transformation, confinement and freedom
bloom is a visual exploration of identity, transformation, and confinement. Series captures the tension between restraint, freedom and evolution. Through glassmorphism and liquid graphics,
The juxtaposition of the performer's fluid movements against the static mirrors creates a visual tension, suggesting a dance between self-discovery and the confines of identity. The mirrors serve as gateways or portals as if each reflection represents a different dimension or state of mind. The entire composition drives the mediation on the dualities of existence—light and shadow, movement and stillness, reality and fantasy—inviting the audience to engage in a deeper exploration of self.
