PR Live's Dave Gillett led the team, designed the projection system and applied his experience in the specialist area of projection mapping which caught guests' attention as they exited a big marquee that was erected in the garden for the event.
PR Live also commissioned the custom video content for the four-minute looped show, created by artist Jack Beccegato, which was mapped to the 30m wide by 8.5m high side for the house.
The projection surface involved a number of bay windows, decorative brickwork and a raised surfaces at different depths, all of which had to be taken into consideration to fit the images perfectly to the building.
The physical system comprised the six Christie projectors which were run as two stacks of three machines for a super-bright image which was blended seamlessly in the d3.
The machines were fitted with long throw lenses and positioned 27m away from the building in special towers 4m off the ground. The towers were located in a gully on a slightly lower portion of the multi-level garden.
The build, set-up and programming was completed over two nights on site by Dave and the PR Live crew.
