Creating Unique Experiences in Physical and Digital Realms
A multidisciplinary creative leader working across 2D & 3D content, visualization, and live experiences — a pioneering collaborator applying emerging technologies to bring ambitious ideas from concept to reality, in both digital and physical worlds.
The Vision
Ben Shearn is a senior creative producer and multidisciplinary designer with 30+ years building things that don't exist yet — from large-scale kinetic art installations at Coachella to cinematic immersive video series to AI-generated content that cuts production time by 300% or more.
His work spans two disciplines that rarely overlap: large-scale experiential and live event production — designing and previsualizating stages at Electric Daisy Carnival, producing brand activations for Corona Beer across four cities, collaborating on iconic kinetic art installations with Poetic Kinetics — and emerging technology production, where he builds AI-native workflows using Runway, ElevenLabs, and Claude to create cinematic video and motion graphics faster and at higher quality than traditional production allows.
The through-line across 30 years is the same: take an ambitious idea, describe it precisely enough that it becomes real, and deliver something that performs.
A recipient of the LMI Luminary Award and a three-decade contributor to FPG / Getty Images, Ben is based in Colorado Springs and available for creative director, senior producer, and consulting engagements.
