2-Pac Hologram Creater: "It was Dre's Vision to Bring this Back to Life"

There is no question that Dr. Dre is one of the most accomplished producers/rappers in the game and this goes to prove that once again he is on top of his game. Dr. Dre had the vision to create the hologram for 2-Pac and I think it was ingenious and refuse to listen to anyone who thinks it was done in bad taste. Everyone who performed that night was friends with Pac and my opinion is they just wanted to rock the stage with him again. I for one am glad this technology was first used (by my knowledge) for Pac and think that says a lot about his impact as an artist. 

Here is the quote by the guy responsible for creating the illusion at Coachella

"We worked with Dr. Dre on this and it was Dre's vision to bring this back to life," said Nick Smith, president of AV Concepts, a company based in San Diego that projected and staged the hologram. "It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life." Smith said he wasn't allowed to talk about the creative aspects of the production -- including how the hologram was able to seemingly perform the set in synch with Snoop and whether all the vocals were 'Pac's -- but he did say that his company has the ability to recreate long-dead figures and visually recreate them in the studio. "You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it," he said.
