Lux Machina Consulting

So that's a wrap on the 2024 Valorant Champions Tour Finals at the Inspire Arena, Seoul. And it just gets more WOW every year! The opening ceremony was creatively led by the brilliant team at DONE+DUSTED, where we worked fluidly with Silent Partners Studio and Technical Supervisor Russell Spud Murphy. For the the Main Show, Riot Games production team led, with creative from Histeria! Lux Machina provided the screen control and media server systems & talent, powered by Lux ARCA, utilizing AV Stumpfl's Pixera to playback 2D Content on a myriad of Creative Technology Korea built LED Screens. PixMob, with Bryan Klunder and his lighting team used data to trigger lighting effects synched with our screen triggers. Proudest geek achievement: A camera fly-through entering a portal into the game map that was used as a transition to start gameplay. Kudos to Jonathan Daly for the ideas and the team work. Heart Hands all round 💛 Crew Credits: Lauren Wilson: VP Producer Ben Love: VP Supervisor Cody Luensman: Lead Unreal Engine Operator Amanda Facemire: Unreal Engine Operator Jason Ericson: Associate Unreal Engine Operator (API Dev) Dwayne Douglass: Systems Technical Director Erick Bravo: Systems Engineer Evan Cervantes: Account Director #ValorantEsports #ValorantChampions2024 #LuxMachina #UnrealEngine #RiotGames

It's that #Siggraph time of the year again! If you are in #Denver this week, Evan Cervantes 🔜 SIGGRAPH from the Lux Machina Consulting team is in town now until 1st August. Do meet up with him. He's fun! His top topics of conversation, he claims are "video Games/esports/live-streaming, anything and everything music (pick your genre... I love it all... except Country.) and don't even get me started on Virtual Production methodologies and education" His favourite drink is whisky: Jameson's on the rocks or if he is having a dry day, his non radical choices would be Ph balanced Mineral water or whole milk! #Siggraph2024 SIGGRAPH 2024, #virtualproduction #egames #egaming #esports #livestreaming #LuxMachina
