I heard that Andy told a fan who met him on the AC tour that he worked on the visuals so I assume that he is indeed talking about Andreas Dermanis.

Thank you!
That is the kind of video I LOVE. If it was possible I would like to know every single details about how they worked on this tour.
(A making-of documentary would have been so interesting but I guess it is too late now)

With Clermont Ferrand and yesterday‘s 11,000 strong audience in Bordeaux, the Apocalypse Calypso Tour is officially on the road!
I am so happy to announce that the visuals for this massive new tour have been created in collaboration with RodeoFX, one of the world’s leading effects and animation studios. Working with them has been one of the best experiences of my creative life. The past few months getting ready for the show have been a creative hurricane, and we have loved every single minute of it. So much to share so here is just a taster. See you soon at the Club Apocalypso. A huge thank you in advance to all the dozens of freelancers who worked days and nights to make this happen!

After watching it again, here is what we learnt :
- Mika contacted RodeoFX to "develop the whole storyline of the Apocalypse Calypso Tour"', and they came back to him "with a coherent narrative that linked all the songs together."
- 13 motion designers worked on the project
- Lollipop was supposed to be part of the global setlist, just after Sweetie Banana. He probably deleted after all, but then decided to add it back for the UK leg of the tour. However, the visuals were surely not ready so they improvised something with the ones of Sweetie Banana.

This excerpt, as long as what seen in the video just below, are probably ripped visuals for Lollipop.

MIKA

Apocalypse Calypso 2024 Tour

 

For the Apocalypse Calypso tour of French pop icon MIKA, we assembled an outstanding team of motion designers in Montreal to conceptualize the entire visual identity showcased during the singer-songwriter’s concerts.

MIKA, known for "Grace Kelly," a well-recognized hit from the early 2000s music scene, worked closely with our team to create a blend of diverse visual content that evolved with the songs and the progression of the show.

 

"I am so happy to announce that the visuals for this massive new tour have been created in collaboration with RodeoFX, one of the world’s leading effects and animation studios.

Working with them has been one of the best experiences of my creative life. The past few months getting ready for the show have been a creative hurricane, and we have loved every single minute of it. "

-MIKA


We deeply appreciated the opportunity to unleash our creativity by fully immersing ourselves in MIKA's universe. This immersion allowed us to innovatively bring to life a harmonious blend of pop and eclectic aesthetics, delicately combining collage with contemplative elements. This creative process was particularly evident in the visual interpretation of MIKA's new hits, including "Sweetie Banana," "Jane Birkin," and "Bougez," reflecting our commitment to excellence and innovation in our field.

MIKA

Apocalypse Calypso

 

Pour la tournée Apocalypse Calypso de l'icône de la pop française MIKA, nous avons réuni une équipe d'exception de motion designers à Montréal pour conceptualiser toute l'identité visuelle présentée lors des concerts de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète.

MIKA, interprète de "Grace Kelly", un succès bien connu de l'univers musical du début des années 2000, a collaboré étroitement avec notre équipe pour créer une fusion de contenus visuels variés, évoluant au gré des chansons et du déroulement du spectacle.

 

"Je suis très heureux d'annoncer que les visuels pour cette immense nouvelle tournée ont été créés en collaboration avec Rodeo FX, l'un des studios d'effets visuels et d'animation les plus réputés au monde.

Travailler avec eux a été l'une des meilleures expériences de ma vie créative. Les derniers mois passés à préparer le spectacle ont été une véritable tempête créative, et nous avons adoré chaque minute."

— MIKA


Nous avons grandement apprécié l'opportunité de déployer notre créativité en nous immergeant pleinement dans l'univers de MIKA. Cela a permis de donner vie, de manière innovante, à un mélange harmonieux d'esthétiques pop et éclectiques, alliant avec finesse le collage à des éléments contemplatifs. Ce processus créatif s'est particulièrement manifesté à travers l'interprétation visuelle des nouveaux succès de MIKA, notamment "Sweetie Banana", "Jane Birkin" et "Bougez", reflétant notre engagement envers l'excellence et l'innovation dans notre domaine.

Grâce à la compagnie @rodeofx_ads.exp , j’ai eu l’opportunité de travailler sur le magnifique show du non moins formidable artiste @mikainstagram !

Ce fut une expérience incroyable de participer à la conception d’un spectacle pour un artiste de cette envergure.

Un grand merci à Louis-Martin (DA), Benoit (réalisateur), Andy et bien sûr à l’artiste Mika pour leur confiance sur ce projet 🙏

Toutes mes félicitations pour avoir réussi à monter une équipe de motion designers et réalisé les visuels d’un show entier en seulement 3 semaines ! 💪

 

Mon humble contribution sur ce projet fut de créer les visuels et animations pour deux des chansons du spectacle.

 

Un challenge ambitieux qui a réservé son lot de défis, mais qui m’a fait progresser dans ma capacité à créer rapidement des images efficaces, iconiques, qui collent à la rétine des spectateurs.

 

J’ai justement le plaisir de vous partager aujourd’hui un extrait de la captation réalisée ce soir-là et diffusée à la télévision française le 14 juin dernier.

Thanks to the company @rodeofx_ads.exp, you have the opportunity to work on the magnificent show of the inexperienced artist @mikainstagram !

It was an amazing experience to participate in the concept of a spectacle for an artist of this project.

A big thank you to Louis-Martin (DA), Benoit (realist), Andy and the artist Mika for their cooperation on this project 🙏

All my satisfactions to be able to help a lot of motion designers and realise the visuals of a show in just 3 seconds! 💪

Mon humble This project contributes to the creation of visuals and animations for two spectacle songs.

A challenging challenge that requires a lot of effort, but it also makes progress in the rapid creation of effective images, icons, which reflect the behavior of spectators.

Just because you are involved today, an extra layer of real-world capture that is so vivid and diffused on French television after the 14th of July.
