Holy Heat

Holy Heat was created for a competition for PGI in 2026. It was not selected as a finalist, but the work is still one of my favorites, from some of my favorite, self-mixed Beyonce tracks.

Site Layout - custom, with constraints based on product size for safety distance, etc.

Budget: $4,000. Final cost: $3996.02

Time limit: 3-5 minutes.

The constraints on this project were remarkably loose - until the work began. This job was undertaken immediately following the PyroJam design Edge of Hearts, so the scale down of the show was the biggest challenge.

I strove to create an intimate yet bombastic show that wasn’t too heavy, but was precise and practical, since the finalist would have had to provide their own workforce. Relying on simple color combinations and certain tropes (red, white, & blue, and golds & whites) for certain selections proved effective in conveying the emotions and concert-esque feeling I wanted to invoke.
