Welcome to the world of "Sepia Lux" – an extraordinary fusion of art, technology, and creativity that is inspiring and changing the world of mobile entertainment. We invite you to experience the magic of this 35-foot-long animatronic cuttlefish vehicle which is unlike anything else yet made.
The vehicle is not just a mode of transport but a moving masterpiece – a parade float and a mobile DJ station rolled into one. Sepia Lux is not your average art car; it's an immersive experience designed to captivate the senses and leave an indelible mark on those lucky enough to encounter it.
At the heart of this spectacle is a void sound system that rivals that of a medium-sized club, ensuring that every onlooker is blanketed in high volume and high quality beats. With a capacity to carry over 20 passengers, Sepia Lux becomes a communal space where art and celebration converge.
Sepia Lux is set apart by it's intricate design, engineering, and programming. 36 cam driven fins move along the sides, mimicking the real motion of a cuttlefish and 9 tentacles in the head, controlled by servos all add depth and motion to the ever changing LED light show. Combined with the lights, sound and motion, sepia lux (aka the cuttlefish ) is not to be missed!
The visual spectacle continues with a custom-made inflatable exterior skin crafted from rip-stop fabric. Illuminated from within by thousands of individually controlled LEDs, Sepia Lux transforms into a radiant beacon, creating an awe-inspiring display that is nothing short of magical. The LED's are orchestrated using the Falcon lighting control system, along with meticulously programmed lighting, using MADMAPPER software ensuring a synchronized and harmonious light show.
For the techies, there are so many components to check investigate. Sepia lux at is core has a mac mini computer which ties all the various systems together. This then communicates via wifi to several Ipads which can be used by an onlooker off of the vehicle to control the lights and some of the motions directly. User control of the lights is a huge highlight for anyone in the crowd.
We hope you enjoy Sepia Lux!
