Off the planet - Red Bull.


What we’re doing at 9,000 feet on Mammoth
mountain is bringing a new perspective to extreme
sports, by fusing interactive art with riders stylin’
through the air. We’re taking the viewer to untracked
terrain, to our nearby crated friend the moon
overlooking the earth. To achieve this spectacle a
21’ inflatable sphere is hovering between the hits
(more easily achieved on a calm night, but those
things ENESS learn the hard way). Our proprietary
software allows us to map 3d visuals onto the snowy
terrain, the whole site now looks like you’ve landed
in a scene from Tron. Riders are tracked via an
infrared camera as they’re flying through the air
- bam millions of particles are born.

Another technical feat worth mentioning is that our
projectors were 300 feet above the recommended
operating altitude, That’s how we earned our rep.
as extreme projectionists, and Red Bull earned our
respect for allowing us to live the dream.
