Commissioned for Karol G's MTV Awards performance, I designed and animated a full suite of stage visuals across both LED walls and a reactive LED floor, collaborating closely with Pixel Kartel. The visual direction followed a high-intensity "Tokyo Neon" theme — inspired by cyberpunk aesthetics, digital signage, and Y2K-era futurism — all crafted to amplify Karol G's on-stage presence for a global broadcast audience.
Visual Style & Concept
Drawing from Tokyo's illuminated cityscape and glitchy digital culture, I built an animated environment packed with scrolling signage, reactive kanji forms, LED grid structures, and pulsing neon elements. The visuals were programmed in TouchDesigner to sync tightly with the timecoded track.
The end result was a multi-layered visual performance — a fusion of music, choreography, and motion design — that transformed the stage into a vibrant, futuristic city.
Outcome
The visuals were broadcast globally as part of Karol G's MTV Awards performance, reaching millions of viewers worldwide. The high-energy, neon-drenched aesthetic perfectly complemented the artist's stage presence and helped create a memorable, visually striking performance that showcased the potential of real-time visual design in live music broadcasting.
