NYE 2010 in Tokyo
Jan 20th
.
Hfour collaborated with 5, Tokyo’s hottest event team to produce a truly spectacular new year’s eve party for about 350 people at the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo.
Stage concept and design and video performance by Hfour.
Two thematic concepts were used for this event:
The first theme was 2010: A Bass Odyssey. (Some motion design content courtesy of vjvault.)
The second theme was NeoTraditionalisme: the fusion of traditional Japanese styles with a countdown party, including champagne and house music.
Three projectors were used: a 7000 lumen for the screen and 2 x 2200 lumen projectors to cover parts of the walls and ceiling with star effects and other illuminating shapes.
The audio coming into the camera’s mic was frightfully distorted, so I’ve uploaded two versions.
Here is one of the videos:

Hfour performed a themed live video installation at a fundraiser for the Born Free Art School in Bangalore, India. Bornfree Art School (BAS) is a unique organization which empowers the street and working children through arts. The children can learn different kinds of arts such as sculpture, painting, dance, music, theater and photography. These arts are means for children from such difficult backgrounds to generate interest in education and get them back to the mainstream of the society.
