This spot had to be shot on the main stage in early spring. It was still very cold.  We had a large empty stage with no existing lighting.  Given a modest budget we needed to recreate the excitement of a large concert.  The animation on the stage was first shot as real action on a soundstage. We then cut out certain frames and had them cut out in acrylic. The 5 inch tall pieces were then hand painted and each sequence was shot stop motion.  They were then matched using motion control to the stage shot.
