AMERICAN SONG CONTEST
Stage Visuals

In the spring of 2022, FragmentNine and Silent House brought on Shmody to help design and animate stage visuals for what was being described as “America’s Eurovision”. Judged by none other than Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, NBC’s American Song Contest set out to find the best original song in the United States, pitting all 50 states and outlying U.S. territories against one another. With a massive video canvas spanning 7+ screens and a sprawling LED floor, Shmody helped produce animated content for 3 artists in the inaugural competition — Broderick Jones (Kansas), Jesse Leprotti (South Carolina), and Neither (Washington, D.C.).
