Pop star Miley Cyrus’ global Bangerz tour is an unprecedented convergence of cutting-edge technology, top-tier set design and live-action choreography produced by LOGAN, a creative studio and production company, and Creative Director Diane Martel. Unique visuals were created for each song on Miley’s setlist, utilizing 3D scanning and live-motion capture to create effects including explosions on Sunset Boulevard, animated candy and avatars that mimic the popstars movements on 40-foot screens.
The result is a colorful and completely immersive experience that unites the singer’s iconoclastic musical vision with hypnotic animations and provocative design. Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz Tour follows her fourth studio album Bangerz, and is set to run in the U.S. through May 2nd before heading global.
This latest effort by LOGAN follows a run of innovative work including a partnership with Metal Gear Solid developer Ryan Paton on République, a new iOS stealth game set in a dystopian future. The company also nabbed a prime screening spot in the 2014 Sundance Film Festival for its production of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, a Persian vampire tale from director Ana Lily Amirpour. Further standout work from LOGAN includes creating opening titles and sequences for films like Zombieland, The Avengers, Premium Rush, and Gangster Squad.
