Metallica: Through The Never
Screen Content for 'The Full Arsenal' Tour, filmed as parrt of the IMAX feature film 'Through The Never'

I was asked to develop content for a spectacular live arena show for Metallica, which would be recorded as a concert film. This became ‘Through The Never’, an IMAX 3d feature film that combined a cinematic narrative with a live performance.

We created moving images for an incredibly theatrical set design with an asymmetrical LED floor, projection roll-drops and ten oversize coffins. The imagery had to work around pyrotechnics, lasers and physical props including crosses for Master Of Puppets and an oversize electric chair with real lightning bolts.

We also created custom software to allow band members to be tracked as they moved across the stage.

Much of the content from this show has remained in the Metallica live set and become part of their live 'canon'.
