Case Studies
Behind the scenes of Cercle Odyssey
A discussion with director Neels Castillon, cinematographer Eric Blanckaert and colourist Sylvain Canaux.
Touring this Spring across three cities, Cercle Odyssey is a groundbreaking audiovisual experience that blends music, nature, and cutting-edge technology into an immersive, multisensory journey. Created by the renowned French music platform Cercle, known for putting together breathtaking live performances in iconic locations around the world, the Odyssey project takes this concept further by integrating 360° visuals, surround sound, and interactive elements.
Directed by Neels Castillon and produced by Motion Palace, the project brings a new perspective to live performance by integrating choreographed narratives inspired by the Ancient Greek myth of Ulysses.
Set in dome-like venues, cinematographer Eric Blanckaert captured the visual essence of the Odyssey, while colourist Sylvain Canaux at St Louis Post-House in Paris ensured a rich and cohesive palette for each of the unique locations.
“From the very beginning, we had to think differently. Every action had to be conceived with this immersive environment in mind. If something happens in front of the viewer, what’s happening behind them? Or to the sides?”
