GigRent provides projection mapping and audio visual support for Sam Adams – Air & Apres Tour

Jordan Goodfellow • September 25, 2019

GigRent provided projection mapping for the Sam Adams Air & Apres Tour. The Tour consists of 11 locations (Mount Snow, Big Sky, Hunter Mountain, Cranmore Mountain, and more) where snow boarders and skiers performed big air jumps. GigRent used projection mapping, a cutting edge technique, to project images onto the snow. The images were audio reactive and programmed to work with the music for full effect. With state-of-the-art 32k laser projectors, GigRent used software to compensate for the uneven surface and to maintain the integrity of the images being projected in conjunction with the audio, which allowed skiers and snow boarders to land on the projection that was being mapped on the side of the mountain. But why read about it when you can watch it in action?
