Carnival Cruises: Gateway and Currents Installations

During the spring of 2022 | was brought on board with batwin + robin productions (b + r) to create an immersive experience for Carnival Cruise Line which consisted of approximately 10 minutes of CG design and animation across large format LED screens. The first immersive experience was so positively received by Carnival and their guests that they subsequently requested another longer experiential piece in 2023. My role for both projects consisted of setting the design and animation while working closely with Adam Casini - Principal and Creative Director at b + r.

Currents

b + r -  The focal point of our work in Currents is the show Seaquest: A FunSub Adventure, in which the entire venue transforms into a submarine venturing through the deep and wondrous depths of the ocean. From an undersea Carnival vacation resort to a thrilling encounter with a giant electric eel, the show makes use of original 3D animation, theatrical lighting, music, and dynamic audio design. b+r was responsible for all creative elements including media design, production, scripting, and the original design of Carnival’s newest (fictional) vessel – the FunSub.

Gateway

b + r - The Gateway is a ten-minute-long production in which the entire space transforms into a captivating time machine and takes guests on a sensational adventure through time and space. From an exotic, glowing alien cave far in the future to an encounter with a medieval dragon, the scenes come to life in vivid detail through a combination of 3D animation, theatrical lighting, music, and audio design to immerse guests in the story.
