Projection-mapped event visuals
Projection mapping for events
MELT EVERYTHING creates projection-mapped visuals for brand activations, product launches, concerts, festivals, scenic environments, venues, and immersive events. We can lead creative direction and content production, prepare the mapping and playback system, or coordinate with your existing AV and projection provider.
Planning the experience
How MELT approaches projection mapping for events
Event-first mapping strategy
Projection mapping for events starts with the room, not the render. We plan content around surfaces, sightlines, ambient light, audience flow, cue timing, photography, and the larger production system.
Use cases
Event projection mapping can support product reveals, keynote moments, gala environments, festival stages, nightclub interiors, resort events, sponsor moments, and branded installations.
Production-ready content
We build custom motion graphics, 3D looks, branded moments, masks, maps, and show files with the final playback system and physical canvas in mind.
Scope and deliverables
What a projection mapping engagement can include
Creative direction and mapped content
Visual concept development, storyboards, style frames, custom 2D or 3D animation, branded sequences, product reveals, environmental looks, transitions, and cue-specific show moments.
Mapping and playback preparation
Surface studies, UV or pixel-map templates, masks, content formatting, show-file organization, media-server planning, testing, and delivery specifications matched to the physical canvas.
Production coordination
Collaboration with the event producer, agency, scenic designer, lighting team, video department, projection provider, and venue so creative choices work with rigging, brightness, sightlines, access, rehearsals, and the run of show.
Choosing the right approach
What determines feasibility, schedule, and cost
Projection mapping is most effective when the surface, environment, content, and technical system are planned together. Budget and schedule are shaped by the size and geometry of the canvas, projector and media-server requirements, ambient light, number of mapped surfaces, content complexity, installation access, event location, rehearsal time, and whether live operation is required.
For a useful first estimate, send photos or drawings of the surface, approximate dimensions, the event date and location, audience position, lighting conditions, available projection equipment, creative goals, schedule, and production contacts. If those details are not yet settled, MELT can help define the questions your venue or AV partner needs to answer.
