Camila Cabello // Concert Visuals
Nexus created concert visuals for Camila Cabello, originally designed for her appearance on Saturday Night Live. The set was an LED cube with one wall removed, placing Camila inside a forced-perspective digital room that twisted and warped with camera movement. The challenge? We had little time, barely any measurements, and a complex stage setup that had to hold up in real space. Aligning 3D animation to physical LED panels requires precise visual math. We pulled all-nighters, rendered on the fly, and even slept on the studio floor between export passes.
When Camila arrived on set, she decided to scrap the LED cube and keep the classic SNL stage visible for her performance. But that’s showbiz. While that particular moment didn’t make it to air, the work found a second life. She used the visuals in later performances where the surreal, high-contrast illusion took center stage and delivered exactly the energy we built it for.
Sometimes concert visuals don’t make curtain. But when they do, they turn a stage into something unforgettable.
