@karotte it was done in post, just very well synced and composited.

there was a neat trick for some of the country introduction stuff where they ran lasers from the back of the hall with projection mapped graphics "drawing" the logo onto the primary video panel at the far rear of the stage, with the sizes and angles set up so that when the mid-field overlay was applied in post it all lined up, like the lasers drew through the VFX overlay and through to the back display. really clever.

@karotte fairly certain they also had lasers under the stage as well as above, plus the drone swarm. I can't imagine how complicated syncing all of that up was. getting the safety zones right so you don't end up reflecting a 10W+ beam off a stray drone prop must've been a headache and a half.

@blinken @karotte I'm hoping someone posts a fixture breakdown because I'm dying to know just how many moving beam heads they had framing the goalpost and rear screen, plus the array in the ceiling.
