# Storm-Projected Shows (UPDATE) Brian Maffitt Turns Snowstorm Nemo into a Cinematic Experience By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-02-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowstorm-nemo References: [theawesomer](http://theawesomer.com/projector-snow/217409/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TxcMRBQ-hA) When snowed in by snowstorm Nemo, Brian Maffitt took advantage of the raging flurry of [snowflakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snowflake-exhibition) to create a [light show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lektrik-festival-of-lights) in his backyard. Using a [film projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soundcore-nebula-x1-pro), he projected a movie onto the storm, watching in awe as the flakes displayed light and color, morphing and shifting as the wind swirled them around and the scenes changed. The result was a vivid display of film confetti, as though Maffitt took a handful of cinematic fairy dust and threw it out into the wild snowstorm. The dark night sky provided the perfect backdrop for the glowing ethereal lights, creating a surreal multimedia experience that combines the force of natural elements with the moving pictures. Snowstorm Nemo was turned for an instant into a sublime display through film projection. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Natural Elements Projection:** Exploring the potential of projecting images on natural elements to create a unique combination of art and nature. - **Outdoor Cinematic Experience:** Crafting an immersive cinema experience in an outdoor environment where the elements enhance the sensory experience. - **Storm Art:** Creating unique and colorful visuals by using the environment and elements of a storm as a canvas for art. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment Industry:** Discovering new ways to revolutionize the cinema experience by bringing it outdoors and engaging with the environment. - **Event Planning Industry:** Crafting unique outdoor events with a focus on creating sensory experiences enhanced by the environment. - **Artistic Industries:** Exploring the intersection of art and nature by using the environment as a canvas for creative expression and the creation of unique, natural installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thematic Outdoor Lights Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-burton-light-trail.md) - [Winter Light Art Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nordic-lights.md) - [Stacked Stone Camera Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nostalgia-of-now.md) - [Unique Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-aurora.md) - [Immersive Holiday Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-holiday-experience.md) - [Immersive Illuminated Artistic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumino1.md) - [Artificial Meteor Shower Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meteor-shower-display.md) - [Artist-Inspired Entertainment Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keith-haring-projector.md) - [Portable Transformative Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boom-air.md)
