TEDxcambridge
SAMO has been working with TEDxCambridge since 2014 as a creative partner and was recently given the Creative Director role in the core team. He has been working with TEDxC to enhance the show experience by creating stages & animations that are visually dynamic and resonate with the speaker's presence. Each year they have aimed to push the experience in effect and deliver a flawless production for the guests. The production consists of both the speaker show experience and a pre-show experience followed by a performance for each event.
Each event there have been different visual approaches that includes techniques like projection mapping, 3D animation, visual / sound direction and more. Below is content from each year that shows both the breath and evolution of the TEDxCambridge show experience.
