Author: DriveEvent Technology Experts Drive Productions Take Pioneering Light-Mapping Technology to New Extremes for Yota in St. Petersburg.
Drive Productions once again took the lead with their latest architectural 3d video mapping project – this time along way from home, in Russia.
The Drive team designed and produced a 5 minute animated sequence that was projected onto the walls of the magnificent and historic Mikhailovsky Castle in the beautiful city of St Petersburg.
The project was conceived as the opening event to publicise Yota Space; the first digital arts festival of its kind in Russia and continues for 3 weeks. Yota Space celebrates some of the world’s leading digital lighting artists and innovators among them Drive Productions and including Musion, UVA, Chris Lavigne, Jason Bruges, One dot Zero as well as Hot Chip and the legendary Brian Eno himself.
Drive are breaking new boundaries in architectural 3d video mapping technologies by drawing upon the capabilities of the d3 media server and using 8 x 25k Christie Roadie projectors to map the façade of an 80m x 30m building.
Battling against new extremes – minus 25 sub zero conditions – Drive Productions were true to form and the projection spectacular, a solid five hours of back-to-back light shows, was a huge success. The 3d video mapping sequence captivated audiences of thousands, illuminating up the imperial capital like never before and provoking wall to wall TV coverage across the nation.
