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 NBC’s American Song Contest. Judged by none other than Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson, the show set out to find the best original song in the United States through a live performance competition. With a massive video canvas spanning 7+ screens and a sprawling LED floor, Shmody helped produce animated content for three artists—Broderick Jones (Kansas), Jesse Leprotti (South Carolina), and Neither (Washington, D.C.).
