Thanks for all the replies.  There's another meeting next week with the agency and I'll be interested to see if they want to go ahead.

FWIW the display will be an exhibition / art type thing, so the public can walk right up to the TVs.  It's a marketing piece for the TV manufacturer which is why they insist that each TV has a 4K feed, otherwise scaling up wouldn't be an issue.

I looked at the design at it calls for an array of 8 x 9 4K TVs.  They will probably be 60" OLEDs because the 100" will be too big for the space.  That's a native resolution of 30,720 x 19,440.  It's definitely possible, probably just won't be much fun.

We have met with a technical company who have said there will be no problems driving it with watchout.

Although I wasnt involved, the company has previously done an AE project at 30K x 30K (for Cisco, in 2009) and the basic thing is to budget for the extra time it takes up.

If this thing does go ahead, we will probably design and animate everything in Maya, and comp it in Nuke.  This is because we have a deadline farm that can tile render, so we can build the scene in Maya and Deadline will automatically split the scene up into 4K outputs for each screen.  Nuke has the same capability.

If it happens it will look good…

FWIW here's an article on the current record for large size video productions:
