I was commissioned to create bespoke motion visuals for Westlife's Dublin tour, delivering content for multiple tracks performed across a large-scale LED stage setup. The visuals were designed to amplify the energy and emotion of the live show, using bold colours, dynamic pacing, and narrative-driven animation sequences.
Visual Style & Concept
For one of the songs, I developed a bright and vibrant visualiser, tightly synced to the music's rhythm. Using colourful patterns, pulses, and fluid transitions, this piece brought high-energy movement to the performance and matched the band's stage lighting design.
In contrast, a second track featured a more atmospheric and evolving narrative: an open sea environment rendered in 3D that began with choppy waves, thunder, and rain, gradually transitioning into calmer waters and a clearing sky. The visuals were built to mirror the emotional arc of the music, giving the audience a cinematic sense of resolution and uplift.
Outcome
The visuals were successfully integrated into Westlife's Dublin tour, enhancing the live experience for thousands of fans. The contrasting visual styles — from high-energy patterns to cinematic sea environments — provided dynamic visual storytelling that complemented the band's diverse musical repertoire and created memorable moments throughout the performance.
