2018/19 Tame Impala
Media programming and Notch effects package for Tame Impala’s 2018-2019 headline tours. 

What did VE do?

We provided media programming and custom real-time Notch content, as well as a custom hardware playback pipeline for Notch. 

Where did this project take place? 

The Tame Impala tours travelled all over North America, kicking off their 2019 season with a headline performance on the Coachella main stage in Indio, CA.

What was unique about this project?

Generally, artists want to be seen by their fans as they perform. Tame Impala wanted their show to be a totally psychedelic, perspective-altering visual feast — including the camera feeds placed on screen. Working with Blink Inc, our content partner for the tour, we were able to create some truly mind-bending and ethereal real-time camera effects.
