Coachella 2012 Webcast Thread

More or less, yes.

No way Sabbath was replaced by Dre....this project sounds like it took way to much time and planning. But that is insane for a 7 minute performance.

My understanding is that Dre and Snoop were the replacement headliner for Sabbath.

So apparently that Tupac hologram took four months to make and cost $400,000.

the quote i read stated that Dre had been thinking about it for a full year, but they started work on it four months before coachella... and that they weren't disclosing how much it cost but a comprable hologram would cost between $100,000 to $400,000

It sounds like we'll find out more details about it after Coachella 2.

Why the hell is CNN saying it cost $10 million then?

[nikkirkpatrick]

[nikkirkpatrick]

and here is the other link i was looking for

"Dr. Dre and his production team approached Digital Domain a year ago to see whether it was possible to create a hologram of Tupac like the one that performed on Sunday"

[k2boarder36]

No way it cost $10 million. With that money, they could probably actually get the Smiths to reunite.

Catching up on some sets I missed today. Real Estate was pretty fucking great.

[stelles75]

The Gobi was really crowded for their set, so Wretched and I ended up going to the beer garden since they will be playing Pitchfork anyway.

Tickets for that are going to be like a million dollars

[Driftwood]

Eh it'll probably be like $60 for shitty United Center seats and they'll be selling on the secondary market for like $30 after a relatively quick sell-out.

[PulpAffliction]

Though the virtual Tupac has been widely described as a hologram, it is in fact a 2D image projected to appear as a 3D effect. To achieve this, a digital image of the Tupac animation was projected onto a reflective surface on the floor of the stage, which then bounced on to a piece of Mylar that reflects the image while appearing otherwise clear. When Snoop Dogg appeared to be rapping along with Tupac, he was standing behind the Mylar screen.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. Told you it was Pepper's Ghost, Thissy.

1910s parlor tricks for the win.

I'd go to a Dre + Snoop + Fitty + Eminem + Holopac tour.

If it's all of those acts the shows are probably going to be at stadiums.
