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.
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’)…
For the 3rd year running Silent Studios were commissioned to create visuals for The Black Ball – an annual fundraising gala for Alicia Keys’ aids awareness charity Keep A Child Alive.
Held this year in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, we designed bespoke visuals for live performances by Janelle Monae, Jay-Z and Sade. Sade!!!
A site visit to Battersea Power Station for the start of a new collaboration with lighting designer Nick Gray (Renegade) and Steve Greetham (XL Video). We’ll be projection mapping the South façade in November!
Here’s an animation that we did for the Broken Bells show on Monday night at the Royal Festival Hall. This was projected onto Waterloo Bridge as people walked home…
Director Mark Jenkinson was commissioned to shoot a film celebrating the British Fashion Council’s 2th Anniversary. The holographic film of models wearing groundbreaking pieces from the last 25 years blurred the real with the hyper-real. Filmed on high speed cameras for slow motion playback, the 3D effect provided a dreamlike accompaniment to dinner in the Great Hall.
The British Fashion Council and INCA Productions approached Silent Studios to design & art direct the holographic projection content for the British Fashion Awards, held at Royal Courts of Justice, London. We invited Manvs.machine to collaborate from the concept stage and together created all the animation content for the awards, including title ‘roses’ that animated from bud to full rose, introducing each award. Our in-house music wing Resonate created the sound design – a mix of warm, organic, analogue sounds.
