- about the project
The Challenge
The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality aimed to commemorate the 562nd anniversary of Istanbul’s Conquest with an unforgettable public celebration. The challenge was to design and deliver a technically flawless large-scale multimedia show that could engage half a million live spectators, while setting a new standard for outdoor event production in Türkiye.
Our Approach
We produced Turkey’s largest-ever multimedia show, a 32-minute time-coded spectacle that synchronized lasers, pyrotechnics, fireworks, fire, fog, 3D projection and sound. The setup included:
- A 1,600 m² projection surface and a 450 m² LED screen.
- More than 400 intelligent lighting fixtures integrated into the show design.
- A custom-designed sound system capable of delivering clarity and power across the massive venue.
Every element was programmed and executed in precise synchronization, creating a breathtaking visual and auditory experience for the audience.
- Outcome
The Impact

The show set a benchmark for large-scale technical production and show design in Türkiye, reinforcing Istanbul’s position as a global stage for extraordinary public events.
