Katy Perry American Idol Finale

Katy Perry made a big splash at the American Idol finale on Friday, May 15, not only for her barefoot performance of her new song, Daisies, but also the innovative digital imagery that swept her into an immersive landscape like Alice into Wonderland.

XR Studios collaborated with Silent Partners Studio and Silent House Productions to produce this all-new extended-reality experience for television. Filmed at PRG Los Angeles, the production partners for this new digital paradigm include PRG North America, disguiseNotch, and Stype.
