For this project our video mapping and sound design expertise was needed. A play based on Georg Büchner’s expressionist masterpiece “Woyzeck” directed by Reza Servati.

The director’s first approach was to make a video wall on the side of the main set (which was made in a shape of a half-pipe) to compliment the acts as they happen, but after a couple of brainstorming sessions we proposed to involve the visuals via 3D Video Mapping into the set. As a result the “Moon Door” on the set (which was made out of Resin) became our main canvas along with the surface of the half-pipe. For this we used two 3,000 lumens short-throw video projectors, One attached to the catwalk on the ceiling and the other one on the back of the moon door.

One of the challenges of this project was the need of absolute darkness in some of the acts so we decided to build custom motorized shaders for the video projectors which we could control from the control room. The results as seen were quite satisfying.

Our part consisted of creating and mapping the visuals on a inverted hemisphere which played a crucial role in the plot,plus some sounds complimenting the visual to create the dark grotesque atmosphere of the play.
