Creative Technology (CT) is on hand to assist in the 4D mapping process. Working from Drive Productions' brief and drawings detailing the venue's limitations and the production restrictions of the pillars positioned in the middle of the floor, CT provided three Barco FLM R20 projectors, complete with lenses and fibre to feed the projectors from Drive's D3 processor.
Overnight rigs between the store shutting on the Saturday evening and the installation needing to be ready for the Tuesday morning were required. Lining the projectors to cover the wall with a blended overlapped image, CT then connected the projectors to the D3 media server with DVI fibre to allow a high quality high-resolution image that was then colour matched.
Drive Productions' D3 operator Richard Porter aligned the image on the canvas created by CT by using 'virtual projectors' within the D3 software to place the images onto the wall, lining up to various pieces of the existing architecture of the building including the pillars.
Creative Technology's contribution to this well received video installation was project managed by CT's Graham Miller.
