We’ve all seen the highlight reels from The Sphere in Vegas - massive screens, AI-enhanced footage, immersive everything. But behind the spectacle is a shift worth watching: the AV world is changing. Fast.
The team behind The Wizard of Oz didn’t shoot anything new. They rebuilt 1939 footage to work on a 16K dome using AI tools like Imagen and Veo. Thousands of hours to make legacy content work in a bleeding-edge space.
We’re not here to compete with that scale - but the problems they solved?
We see those all the time:
Wrong format footage
Bad lighting or audio capture
Last-minute assets that need rescuing
The takeaway isn’t “do bigger shows.”
It’s this: the bar is higher now, even for the smaller ones.
Every event is more visual. More tech-heavy. Less forgiving.
Even modest shows are expected to look and feel sharp. That’s what’s changing.
We’ve seen the same challenges pop up locally - like when content built for Instagram needs to stretch across a 12-metre LED wall. Or when the house lighting wipes out a colour palette that looked perfect in the edit suite.
• Is the footage sharp enough for the scale?
• Are the formats consistent across all media?
• Will the visuals hold up under show lighting?
The Sphere might be a spectacle - but the ripple effects are everywhere.
Got something coming up that needs to look sharp on screen?
Let’s talk early. We’re already booking into August.
