HORIZON See the event before the doors open.
A ballroom, a stage, a shared picture. A fictional gala rendered from a floor plan, so the people planning it can argue about sightlines before anything is built.
Ideas thatmove people.
Live production, cinematic media and interactive 3D. See an event before the doors open. Give a story a world of its own. Let people explore instead of read.
Three disciplines.
One creative thread.
An experience works when its parts work together. Start with one discipline, or connect them into something larger.
Selected studies.
Independent, and real enough to argue with.
Each study is John’s own work, built to show a way of working rather than to sell a finished product. The labels say what is rendered, what is simulated and what is generated.
All work
Living Paintings Give an old picture a pulse.
Bruegel’s wedding guests dance and Ghirlandaio’s attendants pour water: ten silent loops that bring Renaissance paintings to life on a projected wall, with the player to run them all night.
TwinFarm Turn looking into understanding.
A wind turbine you can take apart in the browser, and the operating desk that shows what it is doing. A teaching model that connects the machine to the decisions around it.
Before it’s real,
make it visible.
Clients can’t picture a live event from a floor plan. HORIZON turns a plan into a room you can walk: the sightlines, the table a guest sits at, the stage they look toward. Then the conversation gets specific.
How it was made
- Modelled in
- Blender, driven by scripts through MCP
- Films
- Eevee, about 8 to 10 seconds a frame
- Stills
- Cycles
- LED-wall loop
- Remotion
Room for imagination.
A plan for the details.
A collaborative path from the first conversation to the final experience.
Discover
Start with the audience, the ambition, and the practical constraints. Get clear on what a successful experience should do.
Design
Shape the story, the space, and the interaction. Use visuals and prototypes to make the direction tangible.
Produce
Build the media, plan the technical details, and bring the right collaborators into a shared production plan.
Deliver
Rehearse, refine, and prepare the handoff. Give the experience and the people running it the attention they need.
A maker’s eye.
A producer’s mindset.
Golden Ratio Productions is led by John Collins. A background in media production and live events, including theaters, that moved into AI and learning engineering. That mix shapes the work: think about what people need to see, feel or understand, then work through the details that make it possible.

John’s keynote at the AAF District 4 Conference: Saturday, October 24, 2026, Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront. The demos, the slides and the sources live behind one address.
Let’s make something worth experiencing.
A place, a story, a possibility. Let’s find its form.
