Mercedes Motion Lights

Narrating speed and motion scenographically through the use of light

WHAT WE DID

Set of floating neon tubes Film crew checking the preview on a screen

For a Mercedes-Benz commercial shooting we constructed a kinetic light installation that simulated the fast movement of the car.

While maintaining the industrial neon tube aesthetics our custom-made LED light elements could be controlled and animated individually.

THE RESULT

Film crew on set looking at the car and the lights Preview monitors displaying the scene Final setup with car, lights and narrator

The lights represent both the urban environment in an abstract way and the movement of the car by changing the relation of object and surrounding through animation.
