In the fast-paced world of events, where every project must capture attention, Olivier Blin stands out for his ability to transform ideas into captivating visual experiences.
Through his company, Madame Pepper Consulting, he expresses his creativity as a “Conceptographer” (a profession that uniquely combines design, scenography, and storytelling), and he designs projects that stand out at prestigious events in Paris, Dubai, and Mauritius.
“My life is all about creativity! I spend my time writing and putting my ideas into images, drawing them, and making videos,” he explains.
But for this overflowing creativity to express itself fully, two conditions must be met: adequate power for his work tools, and the mobility to follow up on his projects wherever he is.
Considering these challenges, Olivier has found Shadow Pro to be the best solution for enhancing his work.
Powerful execution to serve creation
One of the initial requirements Olivier Blin had was therefore the ability to access a computer that could keep up with his creativity, without performance limitations: “In my work, I use powerful tools like Lumion, Twinmotion, or SketchUp for imaging, 3D modeling, and more.”
Before using Shadow Pro, his local device was often immobilized for hours during rendering—significantly impacting his workflow and his ability to progress with other projects.
Now, thanks to our powerful virtual workstations, the event designer and scenographer can access a secure, robust, cloud-based machine, without investing in costly new hardware.
As a result, he can now manage multiple tasks simultaneously! With access to all his software from any device, he can launch Lumion renderings on his Shadow PC while working on his physical machine.
"Shadow kind of reminds me of a render farm concept! When I run my calculations on the Shadow station, I can continue working on my physical machine simultaneously. It’s like sending my workload across the globe,"" he points out. “However, from a budget perspective, using a render farm is significantly more expensive than a monthly subscription with Shadow."
Showcasing his projects in real-time, no matter where he is
Additionally, being able to present and edit his projects in real-time, regardless of location, definitely convinced him to adopt the solution.
“One of the challenges I faced before using Shadow Pro resulted in a live presentation of my projects with my clients. Since we had no connection to my tools, it was particularly problematic regarding interaction during our meetings,” explains Olivier.
Without direct access to his work, he had to send his files afterward. However, these were files that, due to insufficient software knowledge, customers could not always manipulate or adapt themselves.
But thanks to Shadow Pro, remote access to his work tools is now possible on any device, anytime! During presentations, even when unplanned, he can connect directly to his customers' workstations or compact, lightweight, ultraportable machines without being affected by their low power.
This marks a significant shift for the event designer and scenographer, as he can now edit his projects in real-time—creating an interactive experience that captivates and engages his clients.
Unlimited creativity powered by advanced cloud technology
In other words, Shadow Pro has completely revolutionized the way Olivier Blin works and showcases his work:
"Shadow helps you bring your creativity out of the dark! It is simple, ergonomic, and allows you to focus on what you do best," he says, comparing it to magic without tricks.
This solution has made an undeniable difference in Madame Pepper Consulting’s activity. With rendering times cut in half, Olivier has seen a significant boost in productivity. This newfound efficiency empowers him to juggle multiple projects while maintaining the highest quality standards.
Live editing during meetings, now possible thanks to Shadow Pro, has also fostered smooth and clear communication with his clients. By delivering an immersive and interactive experience, he has managed to captivate his audience and exceed their expectations.
To summarize, Shadow Pro is not just a tool—it’s a trusted partner in his journey. With our solution, Madame Pepper Consulting isn’t just keeping up with trends in the event industry; it’s redefining them.
