The founder of Haelos Star Yards is a subject of great debate, as knowledge regarding the figure known as Haelos is more fiction than fact. However, a few records from the corporation’s early days circa 600 BBY does have historical merit, as well as his rumoured return in recent years.

Depictions of said founder is identical to the footage of HSY’s new Chief Executive Officer after Imperial agents and shareholders were expelled from the corporate board.
Holofeeds from The Var-Haelos headquarters on Denon depict the CEO - or Haelos - as tall, robed, and humanoid in silhouette wearing a distinctive headdress resembling the HSY logo. Other beings of similar stature accompany him, and it is unclear if they also have ties to the corporation’s founding.

The build began with Haelos and the gang - the headdress of Haelos was crucial as I wanted it to resemble the HSY logo designed by Bjorn
Next came the walkway they're on - I wasn't sure if I was going to have a smaller holoprojector in the middle
What I was sure of was that I wanted a MASSIVE holoprojector suspended from the "ceiling"
With the additional floor, this was shaping up to be quite a huge build
The holoprojector included lights - this was crucial for the photography lighting
New Hashima cubes came in handy when suspending the heavy ass holoprojector.
Photographers use smoke to diffuse lighting - I didn't have a smoke machine so I found the next best thing (do not try this at home kids, don't do drugs)
With 1 second exposure, so good effects were achieved. The rest of the chamber reused the circular floor in the back, and also suspended.
As well as various other lighting methods. A lot of editing had to be done.
These different takes were combined into various layers of different lighting levels - I needed different ones to have the lighting of the chamber reflect the hologram, flickers, glitches, and all
I designed the street map of Denon by combining different streetscapes of IRL cities, and composited onto a sphere.
Other bits of text and icons were included in the hologram - and a lot of work had to be done to get the imperfections such as warping and glitches, and a minuscule power surge
Special effects (hologram) done with Adobe AfterEffects using an original map of Denon, also created with Adobe creative suite.

The amount of work going into this is insane! The end result is nothing less than impressive. I do wish for a little more context, like what are we looking at? What are they looking at? Maybe it is easier to impress when we don't know? 😉
Anyways - this is so good, and your work gives me high hopes for the future of HSY and Factions!
