What about this story for "Around The World in Projection Mapping:"?
Four arrests after images of Trump and Epstein projected on Windsor Castle
This was a good show. I watched it live and it seemed to have no issues. There was one part where George and another actor seemed to be riffing on each other, possibly forgetting a line or two, but they may have been waiting for laughs
Here are my top 5:
5. J.J.'s "wardrobe malfunction" during the S.B. halftime show
4. When a certain billionaire smashed the window of his new electric truck with a ball bearing
3. That time a rapper did an "Unplugged" broadcast with deodorant chunks in his armpits
2. M.J.'s hair catching fire while filming a soda commercial
And coming in first place, drumroll please
1. The press conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping

I love the weekly series idea @Mohannad Mousa, CTS
Pro tip skip ahead to 4:30 in the video for the LED dresses (though the earlier ones still cool) .
To answer your question, Iulia, I can DEFINITELY see these being a hit at EDM music festivals or concerts. Glowing clothing has been slowly coming onto the scene since the raves of the 80s and 90s. What started with glowsticks and laser cat toys turned into LED hats and capes, shoes, glasses, lassos and other flashing toys. The outfits in the video take it to another level! But outside of Burning Man type events, or Dead shows, I am not sure these would be super popular.
ok, I thought the early dresses were just made to look like screens, with pixelated color patterns, not actually LEDs, but its hard to tell viewing them on a monitor. I bet they look different in person. I look forward to your LED fashion show at Infocomm! ;P
