Overview

SuperM is a K-pop supergroup that is reaching for the Hollywood stars. Fortunately, the Walk of Fame is located only a block away from the landmark Capitol Records Building, where the group staged their debut performance on 5 October 2019. They’re kind of a big deal. The seven members were culled from four of the biggest boy-bands out East: SHINee, EXO, NCT 127, and WayV. The scale of their first-ever live show had to match their superstardom. Live-streamed on YouTube, the showcase amounted to a mini-concert with all the bells and whistles of a festival stage.

Working for Capitol Records Hollywood, Mandrake Studios engineered the show from pre-concert through to the performance on the night. A three cake layer LED wall was used in the design with a back LED wall. Disguise was used as a 3D Visualization tool for integration and final control and integration was with four E2 Event Masters to be running master playback and backup playback.
