Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything

Sanchez Brothers

Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal

In collaboration with the Sanchez Brothers and Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, The Workshop was one of the 40 participants in the making of Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything, the first major exhibit dedicated to the life and art of Leonard Cohen. 

This exhibit focused the influence Cohen has had on a number of artists from different disciplines and generations.

The Sanchez Brothers wanted to recreate the last photograph taken of Cohen before his death in 2016. The photo was taken from is home in Los Angeles. We reconstructed his street digitally with 2D and 3D techniques and created a hologram of Leonard himself. The hologram was a mix of live footage of an actor and 3D modelling. We studied hundreds of photos and videos to model and animate Cohen as accurately as possible. Finally, our work was displayed through a physical space mirroring his real home. 

Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything is made up of 20 pieces of work, featuring 40 artists and will be touring world wide in 10 countries.

Katy Perry: Witness The Tour

Silent Partners Studio

We collaborated with Silent Partners who designed and conceived the content for Katy Perry's Witness: The Tour which was a whirlwind of 80s infused aesthetics, with a playful approach to visual conception.

We worked on the Intro of the show as well as the track Tsunami. 

For the Intro content we recreated Katy's eye and had it looking around at the audience members. We combined a 2D digital painting of the iris with a 3D model of the eye, mapping its movement to live action footage taken by our in-house artist. We then digitally metamorphosized the eye to enter the colourful and whimsical universe of Katy Perry. 

Tsunami involved using live footage of Katy Perry shot on a green screen at a high frame rate to emulate the physics of water. We integrated her into an underwater world of 1980s cyberpunk colors and light. 

Witness: The Tour is travelling worldwide and was included in Pollstar's "2017 Year-End Top 100 Worldwide Tours" list.

Moment Factory invited us to create multidisciplinary visuals for their interactive multimedia installation of Le Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook. Through projection mapping we created 3D models of the existing nature of the park and carried out an exciting narration.
