About The Project
Warner Bros. World was an expansive project that tasked Ears Up with creating and integrating 9 rides, 7 realms of background music and sound effects, 17 food & beverage locations, and 16 retail establishments.
Shows and rides included unique challenges, such as the first-ever use of a new KUKA arm system in Batman: Knight Flight. Ears Up was also tasked with large-scale spatial mixing for unique spaces:
Superman 360: Battle for Metropolis included a circular formation of twelve speakers paired with a stereoscopic 3D projection.
Warner Bros. Cinema Spectacular utilized a huge array of loudspeakers in a massive and extremely acoustically-live space.
Meet Bugs & Daffy necessitated a unique synchronization of mechanically-animated costumes with live actors, voiceover, sound effects, and music in a cued theatrical production.
