In 2023, we were proudly part of an extraordinary four-month journey leading up to the opening of SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.
On May 23rd, the Emirates region’s first marine life theme park and research center officially opened its doors to the public, unveiling a truly one-of-a-kind destination.
This groundbreaking project brought together innovative ideas and cutting-edge technologies to create an immersive, spectacular, and completely unique experience.
Our team was structured into multiple competency areas. The digital scenography design team was responsible for the programming of the Cyclorama wall and the creation of all background visuals, recreating the full cycle of 365 days and 24 hours of light across different regions of the world. Using the innovative Animal Light system, we worked to reproduce natural lighting conditions as faithfully as possible, enhancing the realism of each animal’s environment.
Alongside this, the sound team and show lighting team supported and programmed every live performance, both in the main theater and across designated areas throughout the park, ensuring seamless integration of audio, lighting, and storytelling.
Collaborating with over 6,000 passionate, curious, and boundary-pushing professionals from around the world gave us a priceless new perspective and made this experience truly unforgettable.
One Team. One Ocean. One Mission.
