Sweet Dreams
Immersive narrative-driven experience2024
AVIVA Studios at Factory International, Manchester
11 July – 1 September 2024
Sweet Dreams is an immmersive multimedia narrative-driven show by Marshmallow Laser Feast. It’s delivered in the format of processional cinema, experienced across multiple rooms and dozens of videos, interactives, audio, scultpures and lighting.
I acted as technical lead across all game-engine related content. This included real-time interactive visuals and high-quality rendered video content. I worked with the wider team to develop a novel animiation process & pipeline that included motion capture puppeteering, procedural animation, and AI-assisted animation. High-resolution, high-quality video was integrated into a post pipeline and, in some cases, integrated with gen AI video content.
“Playful, satirical and surreal, Sweet Dreams is our newest multi-sensory experience taking over AVIVA Studios at Factory International. The immersive multimedia narrative-driven show invites audiences to explore their place in the food chain wrapping big ideas about appetite and desire into a surreal pop package.”
“Employing a wealth of creative disciplines that span design, digital media, performance, puppeteering and sculpture, Sweet Dreams navigates audiences through new sensory perspectives. Incorporating online phenomena such as Mukbang ASMR and utilising cutting edge AI tools and motion capture technology, the show is the culmination of years of innovative work from MLF.
