MATTEL, 2024
Barbie Live with the LA Sinfonietta
“Welcome to Barbie Land" Billboards and Palm Trees
One of the most iconic scenes in 2023's Barbie was the transition from the real world to Barbie Land™. The creative directors at Black Ink Presents, Mattel, and Mikomedia wanted to recreate that experience for fans attending Barbie Live with the Barbie Land Sinfonietta. To achieve this, we replicated two billboards from that scene and placed them at the entrances to the Hollywood Bowl to welcome guests. Along with the signs, we built a custom scenic facade of palm trees for the stage.

Process Details
Using photo references, we built the sign frames with square steel tube, CNC-routed the billboard panels, and 3D-printed domes to mimic the marquee lights. Everything was painted to match the brand's colors, ensuring the billboards looked just like the film set.
As for the stage, we constructed 14 and 18 foot tall palm trees to bring the world of Barbie to the Hollywood Bowl. These had a steel frame with wood facades painted blue. They achieved framing the Sinfonietta in a Barbie World backdrop.
