New Year without fireworks
For Attitude Hotels I replaced the New Year fireworks with a live-drawn animation show — built as a format for a hotel chain, not a single party.
Improvised
The midnight moment was drawn live, timed to the music and the countdown — every resort got its own version of the night.
How it works
Three steps, all live.
01
Story
A short visual story leading to midnight, built with the hotel team and the music.
02
Stage
Projection on the stage dome and walls around the dance floor.
03
Live
At the countdown, I draw the 'fireworks' live — bursts, flowers and characters instead of rockets.



For organisers
- Surface
- Stage dome, backdrop or a hotel facade; rear or front projection.
- Projector
- One or several projectors depending on the venue.
- Scale
- One resort or several venues on the same night.
- Why
- No noise, no smoke, no risk for animals or guests — and a show nobody has seen before.
