Prism Holograms

Since 2017 i have been freelancing as 3D Generalist for Prism Holograms, a digital illusions company and an innovator in the world of live mixed reality theater experiences. Together our tiny team created the visuals for the musical theater experience Cages which was performed in DTLA to sold out crowds. Currently we are working on a new musical theater experience called Co-Founders which is being developed in part with Rhyme Combinator and the American Conservatory Theater. We are leveraging real-time rendering inside Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHumans to create a never-before-seen crossover experience where digital avatars and live actors share the stage and perform alongside each other.
