Eminem—Houdini

Performance at the VMAs

STORY

Eminem kicked off the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with an electrifying performance of “Houdini” and “Somebody Save Me”, featuring Jelly Roll. The ceremony took place at the UBS Arena in New York on September 11, 2024. Green Wall Designs was proud to produce the video content for this high-profile event.

The performance unfolded against a striking Gotham City skyline, created by Synapse. Green Wall Designs brought the visual narratives to life, enhancing the atmosphere as Eminem, leading a massive crew of Slim Shady clones, stormed the arena. The iconic Moon Person statue emerged through a glowing portal at the center of the cityscape, with a dramatic “E” projected onto its visor in a nod to Batman.

The spectacle then transitioned into a heartfelt rendition of “Somebody Save Me”, featuring home footage of Eminem’s daughter and live-recorded visuals of Jelly Roll, crafted to add emotional depth to the performance, resonating deeply with the audience. A huge thank you to Trevor Burk at Visual Noise Creative and the incredible team at MTV and VMAs for bringing Green Wall Designs on board to produce such impactful video content.
