05 / Content and digital stage design
Content that fills the room.
Overview
Image, rhythm and space working together.
One gesture carried across screens, floor and backdrop.
01
The arena becomes a street
Illuminated façades, a pavaljun for a proscenium and marquee light tracing every edge: not a set dressed with references, but a locality rebuilt indoors for a single night.
Junior Eurovision 2026 · Malta
From a street in Malta to the stage.
The content for the show was never invented from nothing. It started in the street, as a photograph, and reached the arena in five steps.

Photograph it. Rebuild it in paper.
Every scene begins with a real festa: the pavaljuni over a street, the bells, the band, the fireworks over the harbour. Each photograph is rebuilt as a cut-paper model that keeps its exact composition, then set in motion.
Drag across the picture to compare.
03
Wrap the stage in the same street.
The houses come with it. Balconies, doorways and the filigree of the decorations are modelled and wrapped onto the set, so the arena reads as one festa street lit for the night.

Map it to every screen.
Each musical act is played out as a pixel map: every LED surface of the set laid flat on one canvas, each shape a screen, all of them lit in time with the music. The street from the photograph becomes a show: the houses light up for the festa, spell out the words of the song, and turn to dusk.
Choose an act.

Then choose the camera.
With the set built, the shots are chosen before a light is hung: wide for the room, the crane for the crowd, close on the arch, low across the floor.
Pick a camera to cut to it.

The street behind the screen.
The whole making of Act 1 in one film: the model, the build, the light, the character, the score and the show.
The software screens are reconstructions made with the real project files; the arena shots are approval animations, and the Junior Eurovision logo is the official animation.
