The Lion King Outernet
Step Inside Disney’s The Lion King Outernet. An immersive experience, directed by Hannah Lau-Walker celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the iconic West End Show. Hannah drew inspiration from the actors, puppeteers, costume designers, and set builders who bring the show to life every night.
Transforming the Outernet’s 360-degree screens into a dynamic visual experience, The Lion King Outernet celebrates the intricate work and the heroes behind the scenes—from costume design and puppetry to set creation. At the heart of the experience is a family tree, inspired by Rafiki’s Baobab tree, with vibrant collages of behind-the-scenes imagery and motion graphics. These collages showcase the skill of the teams on and off stage who tirelessly bring The Lion King to life each night.
Behind the Scenes
This project saw more traditional techniques of collage and motion design transplanted into a state-of-the-art immersive environment. Working with Art Director Margherita Premuroso, Hannah developed the blooms before bringing the tree to life, adding embroidered as well as 3D elements. Creating for this unique canvas, a custom Virtual Reality solution had to be developed to simulate the audience experience throughout production.
