Link Of The Week
California Roadshow - Throughout the month of July 2010, Obscura Digital hit the road on a four-city Building Projection tour throughout California. With our digital paintbrush we completely transformed the San Francisco Legion of Honor, Old Town Sacramento’s Union Hotel, 700 feet of San Diego’s 900-foot long ship, the USS Midway, and in Los Angeles, on the Walt Disney Concert Hall designed by Frank Gehry. On each building we projected eight to ten minutes of custom media specifically mapped to the unique façade of each location.
Every night of the roadshow the building projections were streamed live on our Client’s website for fans to view and vote for their favorite projection.
With 18 to 20 thousand lumens of HD projection power running on as many as 12 projectors per location, two-days of rigging and calibration set-up in each city, and two months of media development time using 3D Studio Max, Flash, Particle Illustrator, and Algodoo, the end result was nothing short of magical. here

Krishna Dukes has been an integral part of club life for over 10 years: If you have ever been to venues where there is security, chances are that Krishna was involved in keeping you safe. No hotshot security dude with attitude, DJ Taj describes him as "one of the most respected, soft spoken, mild-mannered people anyone could ever know." Unfortunately, Krishna was hospitalized from severe pneumonia and now resides in the ICU unit, gravely ill. Tonight, 25 DJs from the Bay Area will assemble and donate an hour each of their time for a benefit party to raise money in an effort to help him. All proceeds from the event will go to his hospital care and medical expenses. Come out for a night of fun to give back to one true gentle giant. (JE)
