PR Live supplies projection for private party

PR Live supplied large format projection - using a combination of their new D3 server and six Christie 20K high powered projectors - which was applied to the side of a large house as the finale for an exclusive private party in the UK.

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 guest’s 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 4 minute looped show, created by artist Jack Beccegato, which was mapped to the 30 metre wide by 8.5 metre high side for the house. The projection surface involved a number of bay windows, decorative brickwork and a raised surface at different depths, all of which had to be taken into consideration to fit the images to the building.

After taking a brief from the client, PR Live commissioned the material which included graphics, animations and a number of lighting effects, all integrated into the digital footage. Beccegato first made a 3D model of the surface area and then scaled the material, lighting and other effects to fit. Gillett imported the same 3D model into the D3, and was then able to align the projection content to the building.

The physical system comprised the six Christie projectors which were run as two stacks of three machines for an image which was blended in the D3. The machines were fitted with long throw lenses and positioned 27 metres away from the building in special towers 4 metres off the ground. The towers were located in a gully on a slightly lower portion of the multi-level garden.

Gillett used the D3’s warp functionality on site to fine-tune the projection image. Due to a tight timescale, a laser scanned 3D model of the surface was not available. The build, set-up and programming was completed over two nights on site by Gillett and the PR Live crew.
