Seattle Seahawks Tunnel

In 2022 I was hired by Madrid Productions to help add interactive LED effects to the inside of the Seattle Seahawks player entry tunnel.

Planning

The team at Madrid came to me with their plans to build an LED tunnel clad on the outside with LED panels and wanted bright and dynamic LED strips on the inside.

In addition they wanted to add the ability to have the inside lights react based on where the players are in the tunnel. To enable this we used the Zed 2 depth camera.

Build

I built the software for this project using Touchdesigner. Included with the core LED pixel mapping and processing I added, depth camera calibration and a previz feature. The controls are able to be triggered with a wireless keyboard controller.

Deploy

Testing and deploying this project was done successfully 100% remote. I was able to test and debug using a webcam, remote desktop, and dropbox.
