The full launch sequence — sphere, light and transparent screens in one story.

Overview

A sphere, light and glass.

A launch show built around a sphere and transparent screens — security in the quantum era, told as one continuous story.

Together with Option1 Studio we produced the show content for the CyberQ launch: a narrative that moves from particles to code to protection, played across a central sphere and layers of transparent screens.

Every scene was designed for the stage as a whole — sphere, screens and lasers reading as one picture from the audience.

Scene by scene

Concept. Content. Live.

Each scene three times: the concept frame, the rendered content and the show itself. Switch the tabs or let it play.

The quantum genesis

A laser draws a ring on the sphere, stardust spreads across the screens and a tunnel of energy lights the stage.

The founders of discovery

Portraits of scientists rise out of streams of formulas — Al-Khwarizmi first, for the Arab scientific heritage.

The quantum timeline

Two mirrored vortices pull apart into a timeline; the sphere becomes a clock of years.

The cyber threat

Inside the command center one module turns red, the attack spreads — and a blue pulse cleans the system.

The protected skyline

A city of light rises; the screens stretch a glowing mesh over it into a digital dome.

Council & agenda

The conference themes appear as holographic icons and feed energy into the map.

The awakening

Icons fuse into energy, the sphere wakes up and the stage opens on the event key visual.

The stage system

Four surfaces, one picture.

A wide main screen, a floating sphere and two side screens that slide across the stage during the show — every scene was built for all of them at once.

Screens storyboard

For every scene we planned where the side screens stand and when they move — up to 7.5 m across the stage — so the content could be animated to the motion.

Animatic & previz

Timed before it was rendered.

Stills cut to music, then motion blocked on the full canvas — the timing was approved long before the final render.
