Description

When challenged to design and produce Jim-E Stack’s debut LA and NY headline live shows, we jumped at the opportunity. The team’s challenge was to use color as the only building block. Avoiding traditional animations, we focused on simple color palettes, moody/flashy back lighting, and negative space. Our work culminated in a bicoastal tour running the live production and operation of his shows. Matt Leonardo assisted on lighting operation.

The opening title to Moontower's "What Day Is It?" live performance music video.
What Day Is It is a 15-minute live performance film for electro-pop trio Moontower, featuring unreleased songs from their forthcoming EP. Each song's visual identity is ever-evolving, showing viewers the ambiguity of dusk and dawn leaving them feeling lost in time.

After canceling their 2020 headline tour due to COVID, we worked with Moontower to develop an alternative to the live music experience. We reached out to our production partner Eastside LED and visual designer Nicole Blue to build worlds for each song blending the line between digital and physical production. The film laid the groundwork to produce a four-night virtual tour for Moontower fans, with each show featuring unique stage production.

Due to new production safety regulations, the show was automated wherever possible to minimize the onsite crew. We worked closely with the band to integrate a custom live lighting and visual system with their on-stage equipment. After production, we handled everything from editing to color to titles to delivery.

Co-founders Jacob & Hunter met at The USC Academy of Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation, an experimental program founded by Dr Dre & Jimmy Iovine.

After 5 years working in live music and tech, the duo joined forces to build something bigger– Glow in the Dirt.

Our experience has taught us that great work starts with a great team. And after years of experience together, we can say that we are a great team.

Collaboration is at our core, so we know that our best work comes from the collective effort of our creative network.

With the support of our talented network, we are confident in our ability to join any project at any stage.

We’ve since set up our studio in the Arts District outside of Downtown Los Angeles. Learn more ->
