DH Pixels

Last Wednesday was special. No other way to put it.
Months of work, all the planning, filming, editing, hauling gear, setting up, breaking down, dialing in audio and lighting… it all led to that moment where the film finally hit the screen. And it landed.
This film follows the creation of Scala, a monumental public art installation by artists Edra Soto and Dan Sullivan at UIC. A 40-foot structure made of poplar wood, over 17,000 pounds, suspended through a space that used to be an exterior facade. Rooted in Caribbean architectural language, the piece is about culture, structure, and belonging, and what it means to transform a space into something people can feel.
Getting to document that process, being around that level of creativity, and figuring out how to translate something this physical and this detailed through a lens… that’s a different kind of experience. One I want more of.
The panel after the screening brought it all full circle. Hearing the intention behind the work, the scale of it, and what it represents made everything hit even harder.
This felt like a real win for public art. For storytelling. For taking something massive and giving it another life through film.
Shoutout to the Scala premiere at the Three Top Lounge at The Salt Shed.
And thank you to everyone who came out, that support means a lot.
If you’re an artist, designer, engineer, or builder working on something real, something with weight, something that deserves to be documented, this is for you. We’ve built a team that knows how to capture these projects the right way, from concept to completion.
If you have a piece of public art or a project in motion, or you know someone who does, let’s talk.
