  • Projection Art

    Hey guys,
    late in 2009 my company had a 25th anniversary event at Customs House in Brisbane (Australia). We had seen examples of projection art on Youtube, and decided to have a go at it ourselves for the event. Most of the youtube examples we saw were on external facades, but our projection show was internal, with some reasonably detailed and curved geometry. We hired two large projectors that sat on a mezzanine level and they projected images in a crossover arrangement onto a double volume internal facade. The projections were perspective corrected so they appeared correct when viewed by the audience from the floor area. Our projections ranged from static room treatments through to animated 3D sequences. (Using Vray of course)

    (sorry about the music on this one )

    Late last year we were able to utilize the Customs House setup again to provide background graphics for a Rio Tinto annual shareholders meeting. Being a mining company, Rio requested a stylised mine experience, that featured the products they produce - coal, aluminium, bauxite - plus various branding and information graphics. Coal in particular is black of course, so this provided a challenge in representing it in a light projection show.

    Some footage from that event is here:

    My colleague Patrick Shirley was the brains behind the perspective correction process and a lot of cool After Effects work, and additional 2D/3D animation was produced by Anthony Rawson, myself and Justin Hunt. Projection equipment provided by Haycom
