Speakeasy Holidays

Project: STFU Holidays – "Nouveau Noir" Visual Style: Dark Art Nouveau | Abstract Atmospheric | Period-Correct DC Palette: Deep Oxblood, Burnished Gold, Charcoal, Noir Shadow Description: Abandoning rigid geometry for organic elegance, "Nouveau Noir" transforms the venue's ultra-wide video walls into a series of abstract, darkened stained-glass panes. The content serves as a digital window looking out onto a stylized, snowy 1920s Washington D.C., blending the warmth of the interior with a cinematic, noir-drenched exterior. Visual Themes: The Curated Window: "Iron" framing breaks the aspect ratio to create the illusion of speakeasy windows. Organic Frost: Snow and frost textures that follow sweeping, floral Art Nouveau curves rather than standard noise patterns. Mood: A rich, low-light composition using deep reds and golds to maintain the intimate, speakeasy atmosphere. Production Pipeline & Tech Stack: Generation (Image): Base architectural forms and Art Nouveau textures generated via Midjourney and Flux Dev to establish the aesthetic. Generation (Video): Static assets brought to life using Google Veo and Kling for realistic snow physics and atmospheric movement. Processing: Motion consistency and style transfer refined using Nano Banana workflows. Refinement: Assets up-res’d for large-format display using Topaz Upscaler to ensure sharpness on the video walls. Final Output: Composited and sequenced in Adobe Premiere; final warping, mapping, and playback managed via Pixera.
