Hi, my name is

Konstantin Laptev.

Video Technical Manager & Senior disguise Operator

Media Server Operations Projection Mapping Site-Wide Video Systems

I plan and run the video systems behind large-scale live events — projection mapping, media server programming, site-wide signal distribution — from the first 3D scan to the final show. 18 years across Formula 1, Noor Riyadh, MDLBEAST Soundstorm and a three-record projection on One Za’abeel.

From the first site survey to the last cue of the show

Most of the work happens long before an audience arrives. A building gets laser-scanned, the projection study gets built in Mapping Matter, every projector position is checked in Vectorworks — so that on show night the image simply lands where it should.

I handle the technical planning and delivery of video systems for live events and permanent installations: projection mapping, media server programming, LED screen design, and the site-wide networks that tie a venue together. In practice that means owning the whole chain — equipment specs, signal design, crew coordination — and sitting at the desk when the show goes live.

Eighteen years in, the work has ranged from a 230-metre projection on One Za’abeel that took three Guinness World Records, to a single control system linking ten stages at MDLBEAST Soundstorm, to broadcast infrastructure at a FIFA World Cup stadium. Different scales, same discipline: plan for what can fail, and keep a way to fix it live.
