Media-Based Shows: Ears Up provided large-scale spatial sound design and mixing for experiences like Superman 360, which featured 12+ speakers arranged in a circle, and the Warner Bros. Cinematic Spectacular, a show in the massive entry plaza that employed a vast array of loudspeakers in an acoustically challenging environment.
Live Theatrical Shows: The team also designed, programmed, and mixed live theatrical shows like Meet Bugs, where they synchronized sound effects, music cues, and voiceovers, seamlessly blending animated costumes with live actors.
