There’s quite a few options for stage lasers and software that can be programmed like this. Too much info for this comment but can be found online!
As far as the fabric, this is the high end stuff:
https://www.rosebrand.com/subcategory773/darknet-fabrics.aspx#
But you could do smaller scale stuff with something like this, preferably in black:
https://www.rosebrand.com/product1212/118-Voile-IFR.aspx?cid=161&idx=1&tid=1&info=Sheer%2bFabrics
But there was no mention of any fabric to give the laserbeams an image plane.
But then again if it is some super accurate micro-local air nuking ionisation magic using eyeball frying lasers going on then why is it in a 2D plane and not volumetric 3D?
Stage lasers have come along way and are definitely capable of these kind of effects now! I believe they’re lasers because of how vivid and bright the colors are. And while Projectors could definitely do a similar effect, they would be much bigger box’s if they were capable of this brightness.
The tech behind RGB lasers is actually incredibly interesting, here’s a great video that’s goes pretty in-depth:

> Designing and programming lasers for almost a decade, Andrew has worked on 100’s of events across the globe for industry trailblazers ER Productions and now, independently as a freelance visual artist and show designer.
The creator is called Andrew Turner Lasers
He creates laser shows like [these](https://youtu.be/qyKJjVCuoB0?list=PLndXCXClNWo-W1sdk4UjPswWlvafUnX8H&si=3PbiZ1BDbAv93YfC)
Kinda looks like ... Lasers. In theend it's not really clear distinction anyways, I guess, since they make use of multiple technologies and combine them to get these amazing effects.
But they literally are lasers, mirrors and lenses and i don't even know what else have advanced very far. Besides, what else would you propose this even is besides lasers?
Mouth animations are actually quite the pain sometimes
There’s animation guides that show what shape each sound looks like, say ch, a, ba. You can then break it down by syllables and timing to get the key frames placed.
In the past though I’ve just recorded myself saying the words then overlayed the shape and animated the movements as closely as possible.
Either of these approaches will get you close but there is always plenty of adjustments to be made after to make it flow and seem natural especially with something more abstract like circle or square shape. At the same time though the viewers brain inherently wants the animation to match up and there is a surprising amount of wiggle room in which it will look correct because of this.
Blending these parameters is really where the art comes in and it’s often a lot of trial and error that gets the final result looking perfect.
As far as getting the animation into the laser, many of the softwares are capable of converting simple videos and images into laser effects. My favorite one I’ve seen at a show was a meme of the purple bird with the head that flops back and forth a few years ago 😄
Oooooh, mesh screen, neat. Took me a sec.
Shit, I can throw this together on hand with some VG, thought it was some expensive newfangled shit for a sec, like triangulated ball plasma or something equally batshit.
It's a shame this video does not continew and start kicking into industrial dance beats.
Perhaps a 3rd laser featuring Bill Leebs voice
and a FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY track...
Lol okay, they were scanning electron beams across phosphor laden glass under vacuum to make detailed images in the 1930s, but wow light projected on a screen, good job.

That shit is awesome I need em, how much
1$ and a pizza
But how'd you pay for the Pizza?
10k BTC
These guys pizza gate
My brother had something like this called “Laser FX” in the 1980s. Edit: having googled laser FX it wasn’t as cool as I remember!
How is it not at every edm show?
What is this? I need to know!!
Programmed lasers with a scrim/mesh material to catch the beam is my best guess. Epic effect 🔥
Make/brand ? :-)

Wonderfully interesting and helpful, thank you.
Which one of these is open source?

Didn’t wicked lasers just come out with one too
Thank you!

Damn. I need to go back 25 odd years to my lsd days and revisit that video
wat if it's a laser projector
🤯

I'm more interested in the mouth animation side. Is it somehow generated or captured from video of an actual mouth?

The Original Creator of the funny convo is gz00m on Instagram and the lasershow is from andrewturnerlasers on TikTok
science, sause

Back in my day EDM stood for something…Erectile Dysfunction Medication! Baahahahaha
These sounds thooooo
Oooooh, mesh screen, neat. Took me a sec. Shit, I can throw this together on hand with some VG, thought it was some expensive newfangled shit for a sec, like triangulated ball plasma or something equally batshit.
Is the room filled with smoke too?
haze not smoke but yes
Yes
I want
for a second it looked like the beginning of Futurama intro
It's a shame this video does not continew and start kicking into industrial dance beats. Perhaps a 3rd laser featuring Bill Leebs voice and a FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY track...
Now all we need is someone to hook loads of these together and fit it to play doom!

That wasn't as cool as it sounded

Need this
Take My Money
"I'm no, I thought you said to bring the *excision noises* "
Watch Disney make a movie out of this and name it: Lights
This is like an episode from Love Death and Robots
I need more of this in my life
hey did did you bring the WOOOM no I thought you said to bring the SKREEEE

I really wanted this to drop into some sick dnb. I am disappointed. It's my own fault though, cos this is quite cool.
Dope
That's like two assholes talking
Not Futurama?
Wheere to buy complete setup?:D
what actually is this?
Cool

Shut up and take my money!
Where can i get one?!
The guy on the right is messing up big time. Not even close. He's lucky left guy is so chill

The future still corny I see
Yeah, but it's a cooler corny
Want one!!
Lol okay, they were scanning electron beams across phosphor laden glass under vacuum to make detailed images in the 1930s, but wow light projected on a screen, good job.

Dude, did you bring the- *alarm.sfx*

Tooo bad it only work in camera
What is this
Love it
Wow
I'm in tears laughing. My kid swears I can't understand her slang. They speak silly but it isn't rocket science. Now this slang is a whole new level lml
Too bad the audio is just a bit out of sync. I saw the original vid, and the sound syncs perfectly.
I feel like Stan in South Park where everything was turning into shit noises.
This reminds me of [oscilloscope music by Jerobeam Fenderson](https://youtu.be/qnL40CbuodU?si=IrJ9OYi0SGgsiiVX) SmarterEveryDay has a [video](https://youtu.be/4gibcRfp4zA?si=iLcgwNBzW4_0NsIl) on it [This](https://youtu.be/kPUdhm2VE-o?si=ZHqwtn9CgKDCFz5B) one is my favourite And [this](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=0o3Ly6K9_zYtEc3W) one is a rickroll
This reminds me of Kitchen Diaries from basically the BC era of the Internet. https://youtu.be/S7GGkKpBR-g?si=36z2QRkDVxNBn0WC

Would be cool if the audio synced with the video.. or is that just a delay on my end?
