Pleased to announce that the projections in the Senate House Yard went down a storm for Cambridges 800th closing celebrations.
As always there’s a new flickr set with some of the best looks, go on take a look!
Alternatively you could have a look at some of the great press we’ve had here, here, here, or here.
Flat art and photoshop work was done by Paul Chatfield (website still in construction) I jumped in to program the show in our Onlyview system and do the required animation using After Effects and Cinema 4D software, all on behalf of E/T/C UK Ltd. The show took us roughly a week’s worth of long days in the studio plus another 4 days of consruction and tweaking on site. Having done these buildings this time last year we had a good idea about what worked and what didn’t. We experimented with a few techniques we’d not used before on this project including 3D modeling and green screen keying which worked to lesser and greater effect. It was great to take testing away from the studio all the way to building size in an environment where he could afford to make changes. There was also a lot of flat art manipulation which is more inline with our usual model.
We have found that with Son Illumiere projects like this the key aspect very much has to be the story told. That said, we wouldn’t be commissioned to produce these show’s if we didn’t make them aesthetically pleasing. It is always our intention to balance fun effects and a bit of “wow” factor with the content that takes from the history of the buildings.
