Kasabian’s UK arena tour is finished and we are getting all our content together to share. It was a heady mix of high-end 2D/3D animation, visual effects and live action. Each track explores the theme of music visualisation with real-time manipulation of content by sound, the band or the crowd. This collaborative project with Andreas Müller (Nanika) explores interactive animation, sound analysis, face tracking, audience participation, live social media elements and live camera feed translation. Check back soon to see how it shaped up.
In the meantime here is a little taster of the show…
“It was like watching the best telly you’ve ever seen — a massive concave screen with spectacular graphics reacting to the thumping bass and guitar riffs. Hats off to the team behind it. They’ve come up with something truly original.” – The Sun
A 6-minute dreamlike journey through the rivers and parks of London, drawing you deep into the magical city at night. The film was designed to be dissected over 5 giant video projection walls creating a fully immersive tunnel made out of black mirror and glass for a highly exclusive digital experience in Beijing.
Room 1 – The ‘triptych’ room (3x video projection walls): Close-up shots of flamingos, moving through frame from right to left encourage the flow of people into the next room…
Room 2 – The ‘flying’ room (1x video projection wall): Wider, epic shots. Edit starts with slow motion shots of flamingos running, then take off, then in full flight. In this room we hear the main music track: a beautiful orchestral piece that has a heritage, classical orchestration. For the most part a smooth piece to reflect the smooth nature of flying, with slightly playful elements that work well with the running legs and take off.
Resonate @ Silent Studios were commissioned to create an original music track and sound design for “Get Your Energy Back” – an extraordinary 3D projection mapping event for Toyota’s new Hybrid Auris. Filmed on location in Shoreditch, London the soundtrack was designed using multiple speaker feeds to help ‘place’ the sounds within the physical space.

Silent Studios have created a mesmerising video installation for Bally’s Menswear Autumn/ Winter ’11 presentation in Milan. A hypnotic, recurring dream sequence was created by repeating and layering clips of the European Snow Bison, all set to a dramatic soundtrack by Resonate @ Silent Studios.
Based on the concept of light, power and electricity. From the pulsing of a tiny proton particle, to the swirling nuclear mass of a sun. Geometric designs play and pulse over Battersea Power Station giving a sense of a powerful unreleased energy forever emanating from within. Mapping the architecture the structure’s key details are illuminated, evolving throughout the night. Touching on the myriad forms and flow of movement that the concept of electricity conjures.

Silent Studios collaborated with East London illustration collective Le Gun to design the 2010 British Fashion Awards. Click on the film below to see the award animation in full.
Illustrations – Le Gun
Animation – Zed Zero
Music – ‘Under My Thumb’, The Rolling Stones
We’ve just designed the British Fashion Awards 2010 with illustrations by Le Gun. The direction was British, eccentric and often beautiful. We designed a huge, constantly moving, animated canvas to create a dense freewheeling fashion poem. The projections looked incredible at the star-studded event in the Savoy Theatre. Perhaps more interesting though are the illustrations that didn’t get through, the one’s that got away (our fave was ‘Victoria Peckham’)…
Silent Studios were commissioned by luxury mobile phone company Vertu to create three installations for the launch of their first smartphone Constellation Quest. In an enticing mix of old and new, guests were treated to immersive projections and 360º sound installations, all in the palatial surroundings of London’s Lancaster House. The event then toured internationally from New York to Moscow.
