Einfach Himmlisch (simply devine) is our first commercial augmented reality project. To realize real-time 3D animation and provide the production pipeline necessary, we created Studio One - a joint venture of d.solve gmbh and relative.berlin, specialising in Notch real-time content and interactive tools.

Commissioned by the Archdiocese of Cologne, Einfach Himmlisch is a weeklong Christian Music festival. Taking place at the Lanxess Arena, Cologne, Germany, the show’s finale would feature 16,000 musicians performing to a live-stream audience.

Director Chris Cuhls wanted to create a modern and accessible Christian Music festival. His vision was to programm a live event that could also excite an online and broadcast audience. To achieve that we created Augumented Reality Animations that would act as a visual extension of the show. With a limited production time we were able to produce beautiful and fitting visuals that brought the festival to life for viewers at home.
