Green Hippo supports Halloween event in York

Green Hippo’s Hippotizer Media Servers were behind a “son et lumière” event to celebrate Halloween in the historic city of York. Staged over three nights in two of the city’s locations - Castle Museum and Library Square - the project was the result of a collaboration between York BID (Business Improvement District) and Polestar Productions.

The event employed Karst+ Media Servers from Green Hippo and Epson 1755 projectors, supplied by Stage Sound Services and operated by Steve Jackson of InFocusAV, to deliver the spooky media creations designed by Polestar Productions.

Castle Museum and Library Square were temporarily transformed by sound, light and dynamic projections, with content including a line-up of ghosts, ghouls and monsters. Helping the projections hit their marks were MH11L Mirror Heads from Dynamic Projection Institute, in their first large-scale use in the UK.

Driving all the content and streamlining the programming, management and control of the media were the Karst+ Media Servers. “We programmed the show in a Timeline, with the MultiController component running Art-Net output to control the Mirror Head units,” says Jackson. “We used an Elgato Stream Deck, in combination with MultiController to run the timeline queues.”

“The video files also contained audio, and the media player, with separate audio levels for the tracks, enabled for control of volume levels, separate from the rest of the programming,” he adds. “Ambient music tracks were used as a base layer for the soundscape, with elements of each video file which could be balanced as required.”
