Museum of Liverpool
The Museum of Liverpool is now open and our multi-screen video exhibit is on display at the entrance to the Wondrous Place exhibition. The audio visual piece takes the viewer through a journey of the famous sons and daughters of Liverpool’s vibrant entertainment scene. In the end this job proved to be quite a challenge – editing across 4 HD screens simultaneously, with a total canvas width of 7000 pixels!
Caledonian 123
We finally finished the 3D animation work for the new Caley 123 exhibit at the Glasgow Riverside Museum. The video tells the story of how workers on the Clydeside built the engine in a record 66 days. When in service, no 123 worked on the Carlisle to Edinburgh section of the West Coast route. The West Coast and East Coast trains were in constant competition to reduce travelling times from London to Scotland, and this became known as the “Great Race North”. You can check out the exhibit along with the brilliant new museum from the 21st June.
Planet News
This is a digital signage application that displays Geo-Tagged news stories from the web on a real-time 3D globe. Prototyping environments like Quartz Composer are great for mixing lots of different technologies quickly. We used a combination of GLSL shaders, GEO-RSS and Javascript to be able to plot the news stories accurately on the virtual planet.
