Tour Design/Direction/Live DVD Production... MODE has a passion for live music. Rock n' Roll, Hip Hop, famous crooners, whatever... We've spent quality time in the trenches as touring personnel, as well as designing some of the most blazing arena lighting and video known to man, so we know what looks beautiful, and how it should be built to move. At all scales we blend scenery, with media and lighting to create striking performance environments. Why not join superstar recording artists like Nickelback, LeAnn Rimes, Cartel, R Kelly, and 3 Doors Down in hiring a Design & Direction company with MAD SKILLZ.
Theatre
At MODE Studios, our staff's roots are in Theatre... From the avant-garde works of Laurie Anderson, Anne Bogart, and Tina Landau, to the musical theatre spectaculars of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Walt Disney, we've been there. Whether you need sizzling video backdrops and moving light shows for a musical extravaganza, or moody and disorienting lighting design for a Brecht production, the designers at MODE are soaked in the right aesthetics.
Opera
MODE Studios is steeped in the musical language of the world's grandest opera. We've won awards for our projection designs in the world of Opera, working with companies like Seattle Opera, The Spoleto Festival, and Calgary Opera. We're well acquainted with the canons of masters like Wagner and Prokofiev, as well as modern librettists and composers like John Murrell and John Estacio.
Corporate
At MODE, our extensive range of multimedia and lighting talents make us a tremendous resource for companies looking for the ultimate branding exeriences. Clients like Nokia, Microsoft, Cessna, AOL, and mega-agency Jack Morton Worldwide have all benefited from the MODE Studios talent set. We invite you to discover how MODE can communicate your brand, and your message like no other design firm.
Architectural
MODE Studios has collaborated with some of the world's foremost architects in the development of groundbreaking media and lighting aspects of structural design. From the world's largest flat LED screen (visible from space), to retail multimedia and lighting features, we know what looks good, what meets code restrictions, how to integrate it, and how to make it all scenic, structural, and beautiful.
Broadcast
Whether the situation calls for pristine acquisition and production, with logistical complexity, or down and dirty run & gun, MODE studios fosters the talent that's done it again and again, for Sony, Epic, Warner/Reprise, MTV, Universal... MODE provides the artistry and expertise to direct, design, and produce any live broadcast event. Director Matt Skerritt and Production Designer Bob Bonniol have applied their unique and dynamic view of musical performance to work on DVDs for artists like Journey, The Pretenders, Cartel, The Lashes, Matisyahu, and Chris Botti.
Documentary
MODE is first a home for storytellers, and a channel for the stories they tell. MODE features the extraordinary music & commercial documentary work of Director Matt Skerritt, as well as the branding documentary work of Bob Bonniol. These two film makers consistently bring humour, soul, and insight to the documentary form. They have worked with artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, INXS, and Ziggy Marley; brands like Nokia and Holland America; and broadcast blockbusters like The Apprentice to reveal a deeper view into the stories they all tell.
