Michael and I were looking for a visual way of representing this app that was being made in the real space of a velodrome. I suggested setting up a growing line of light that would be moving with our cyclist around the ring. Together with my Gaffer George Petras (pictured below) and lighting board guru Desiree Lidon, we set up Astera pixel tubes running in sequence around the entire area of the velodrome that we would see on camera. It was a lengthy setup, but worthwhile outcome. We then carried that color space forward into their workspace location.
