what we do:
we work closely with clients in the corporate, events, music and visual industries, using
lasers, architectural projection and digital media to launch brands, inform and entertain.

Since our inception in 2007, our range of services has constantly evolved to embrace many new and exciting technologies.
Our core values, however, remain unchanged: Funktioncreep is built on excellent communication, vision, creativity, attention to detail, and a desire to constantly exceed the expectations of both you and your audience.

  • 3D & 2D LIVE MOTION GRAPHICS             

    Our 3D and 2D live motion graphics work is probably what we're most renowned for. Funktioncreep have worked with an incredible array of music artists, bands and DJs, providing fully live and immersive visuals to accompany their live performances. We also offer creative input into the event set design, allowing our work to be realised in the most immersive manner possible.

  • ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTION MAPPING  

    APM is an outstanding tool for advertising, brand launches, festivals and tours. We develop unique content for each show using 3D modelling and video effects software, then use high powered projectors to bring public spaces, architecture and objects to life. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination, and the results are truly breathtaking and memorable.

  • LASER SHOWS & LASER HIRE                    

    With laser systems from 1W to our 40W cloud-writer, we are the largest laser hire and show provider in Scotland. Our full colour lasers can be choreographed for theatre shows, music videos, TV and film, and our shows add dramatic impact to awards ceremonies, premieres, product launches, rebranding campaigns, clubs and festivals. We are International Laser Display Association corporate members.

  • VISUALS AND VJ SETS                               

    We've always have a unique approach to visuals and VJing in that our shows are completely live and crowd reactive. By working closely with artists, clients and promoters at the pre-production stages, we ensure that we deliver exactly the required message - from getting the crowd feeling they've not only heard but seen a great performance, to marketing your product in a truly unique way.

  • POST PRODUCTION                                  

    Though the majority of our post-pro work is VFX and CGI related, we also offer a complete range of in-house post production video and audio services, and we work FAST. Our services include DVD authoring, format transfer, content to web, restoration, subtitling, sound dubbing and sound replacement. We can also author custom soundtracks and scores for video, film, TV and showreel use.

  • CONTENT CREATION                                 

    Funktioncreep can create custom digital content for your event, show, presentation or website - Using the same in-house facilities we use for our own live motion and post production graphics, we can work with you to create 2D and 3D animations, soundtracks, graphics, images, video, and online marketing campaigns (we even designed, coded and built this website...)

  • VIDEO SHOWREELS & MUSIC VIDEOS        

    Borne out of our live visuals work, we have recently added a showreel and music video service. We can storyboard, film, edit and produce a professional music video or showreel from scratch, or we can work with your own existing footage; adding titles, VFX and soundtracks to create a perfect marketing tool for your music, event or service. Examples can be found on our YouTube channel.

  • LIVE WEBCASTING                                    

    We offer Internet & 3G streaming of live video, augmented reality and HQ audio feeds from your event, together with AV archiving. It is now entirely possible for your audience to get up close and personal with presenters, DJs and artists, for web subscribers to watch your show at home, and for people outside your venue to use their smartphone to get a glimpse of what awaits them inside.

Chris Lawson, MCL AV: Funktioncreep have worked with us on many corporate and commercial shows. They have also provided content for us to use on our own shows. Their laser and projection work is always incredibly creative, professional, and their communication is second to none. I'd highly recommend them.
Amanda Wrathall, Events Manager, ECE: Funktioncreep have worked on a variety of events at the Venue, always with fantastic results that really impress our clients. Plus they are good guys to have around: friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Would highly recommend them.
our clients:
we're proud of the diversity within our clientbase - we believe it truly reflects our adaptability.
we match our skills to any size of project, always delivering on-spec, on-time and on-budget.

How A 200 Year Old Illusion Wowed the Music World:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

At the recent Coachella festival, rapper Tupac Shakur who died in 1996, was resurrected for a set with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.

The effect (incorrectly referred to in most web articles as a "hologram") simply uses a 200 year old technique known as "Pepper's Ghost", with a CGI Tupac projection being partially reflected by an angled piece of glass on stage, making him appear to hover before the audience.

We love how 200 year old ideas and modern tech have been brought together to create this illusion...

How To Use Visuals To Create Engaging Meetings:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

According to Sunni Brown (owner of BrightSpot I.D.), people don't share the exact same mental models. If you want someone to see what you see, you have to show it to them. This creates a shared reality.

Described as Mind Mapping on steroids, the concept of Information Graphics offers a lot more flexibility in structure and dynamic since it happens live - You're not just affecting your capacity for learning but you're impacting the learning of anyone who watches it unfold.

This could prove to be a fascinating use for live motion graphics...

Stunning APM at Vimeo Festival:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

To celebrate the end of the first Vimeo Film Festival and Awards, Vimeo commissioned a stunning architectural projection map on the front face of the IAC Building in New York.

The map, provided by seeper.com, fully illustrates the creative power of architectural projection to draw a crowd and deliver a truly memorable performance and unique way of delivering a message.

The New iPad Is Here:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

So, yesterday the iPad3 new iPad was unveiled. We really had our fingers crossed for this baby as we've been using the iPad 2 for content delivery and remote laser control for a while now.

Whilst the pre-launch gossip was all about quadcore processing and upgraded graphics, the reality delivered a new retina display, upgraded camera, and added 4G LTE, whilst retaining the same dual core processor and graphics chip. Boo. Sadly, not worth upgrading our show systems to, but it'll still be on our personal gadget list.

We Launch Our Monthly Funktioncreep Newsletter:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

On 25 February, 2012 we unveiled the first of our newsletters to our mailing list of 145 corporate, events, music and visual clients.

The response to date has been overwhelming, with a great return on our competition for a free laser show.

A copy of Issue 1 is available here, and if you contact us with your name and e-mail address, we'll add you to our database so you can be included in future mail outs...

We Take Delivery Of A Bespoke 10W Tandem Laser System:

Funktioncreep Newsletter

OK, we'll admit it: We're geeks. We recently took delivery of our new 10W RGB tandem laser system, and we've not stopped playing since it arrived.

The system comprises two independent 5W lasers, each flexible enough to handle moving projection of logos, text, 3D graphics, SMS and full frame animations, both indoors and out, in over 16 million colours.

When both lasers are used together as a 10W tandem system, the effect has to be seen to be believed.
