CITY OF BELLINGHAM SEAFEAST FESTIVAL

 

Bellingham is a beautiful city by the bay near the confluence of all things Pacific Northwest and marine cuisine.

For the inaugural gathering the organizers of SeaFeast wanted to ensure that the event had a visual presence throughout the city in a way that was as fresh as the day’s catch.



To enable this marketing campaign our team assembled a number of temporary projection mapping activations on buildings throughout the town including the very visible Granary Building along the new waterfront.

Using photos and video clips provided by the client a slideshow fit to the architecture of the building was crafted with interspersed logos of the core sponsors.

It was a joy to see people walking, driving, and on the water recognize the projections on their way to the event. Images of boats, fishermen and women, plus all the food items from salmon to Dungeness crab were highlighted with crisp projection mapping via our mobile system.


 

POSSI LIFE IMMERSIVE 3D PROJECTION MAPPING STAGE LIGHTING DESIGN

 

Wall to wall projection mapped visuals and a vibrant stage lighting design came together for many epic parties with POSSI LIFE at the Fred Wildlife Refuge in Seattle, WA.

The space is an amazing canvas for projections, lighting, people, parties, and events of all kinds.

Working at the venue and helping to develop custom looks for their 100% on-brand gatherings was a sight to behold and an excellent time.



Nearly every inch of the huge white backdrop in the room was covered with visuals via an installation of x2 12k lumen laser projectors where content could be mixed on the fly to match the lighting and intensity of each DJ performance.



 

FREAKNIGHT MUSIC FESTIVAL 3D PROJECTION MAPPING IN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

 

Gather one gather all for the spectacle of the most wild and themed out Seattle Halloween parties of them all!

Lumenarius was invited to create a 3D projection mapping activation on multiple 4-story buildings outside of the main entrance of the WAMU Theater to provide stimulating eye candy for those awaiting entrance to the 2-night event.



The site required a suite of creative solutions to achieve a vibrant and captivating look for those in queue.

There were streetlights, multiple evenings, lots of people, and tons of seagulls so the installation had to be dialed and resilient to many factors.

To counter this a duo of custom projector enclosures were brought out to protect the assets from inclement weather and beyond!



To achieve a one-of-a-kind look it is necessary to incorporate the unique building architecture into the content creation workflow.

In this instance a 3D model of the building was captured and recreated at a smaller scale. This scale model was then positioned in front of a camera while actual creepy crawlies ranging from caterpillars, to ants, and even a tarantula traversed the landscape.

This footage was then used as the source material for the projection mapping content so that a very convincing look emerged appearing as if the bugs were actually crawling all over the building and through the windows!

MURAL TRACING USING 3D PROJECTION MAPPING

 

The process of creating larger than life murals can be a creative challenge which is why PNW artist Gretchen Leggitt reached out to Lumenarius for some illuminating help!

By using a projector and mapping software we were able to ensure that the mural to be created was perfectly aligned to the wall and integrated sundial.



By being able to see the mural and double check all of the measurements before proceeding the artist was able to be 100% positive all the shadows and sundial elements were pixel perfect.

After calibrating the projector it was time sit back and watch the magic unfold over the evening as Gretchen and her team used scissor lifts to get 3-stories up and all across the wall marked out for the next phase before sunrise.


 

41 ROSS GALLERY ALLEYWAY PROJECTION MAPPING

 

41 Ross Gallery is a premier nexus of art and culture in the historic San Francisco, CA alleyway.

The curators were looking to make a splash for a grand reopening with a video art installation displayed on the walkway in front of the gallery.




To achieve this vision Lumenarius created a custom outdoor rated enclosure for a wide throw projector and computer.

This aluminum enclosure was then painted to match the background and installed just outside of the front door.


^^ SEE IT IN FULL 360º ^^


On opening night the installation was a success with people of all ages attracted to the light emanating from the alleyway. As many gathered there were other artistic contributions of food, live painting, and acoustic music.

It was a great way for the gallery to activate the space directly outside of its location with an ever changing video of the ocean below.



 

3D PROJECTION MAPPING SYSTEM FOR ABLY APPAREL

 

Getting the word out is essential for the downtown Seattle fashion brand Ably Apparel.

To take the looks of their latest product line to a new level they hired Lumenarius to provide a turn key permanent 3D projection mapping system to spark visual experiences on their highly visible public facing wall.



After creating a 3D model of the roof and accounting for the environmental factors in the Pacific Northwest our team was able to create a system well suited for lasting in this location while achieving the goals of their marketing campaign.



By creating each system in our facilities we can ensure that the sensitive electronics are engineered and installed to last for years in the near constant rain, snow, wind, and frequent seagulls of the Puget Sound.

Once in position it was great to stand back and enjoy the very visible projections from every angle of the frequently trafficked intersection.


 

THE COLLECTIVE SEATTLE GRAND OPENING

 

The Collective, described as an "urban basecamp for the mind, body, and soul", was an incredible space to work with in the heart of Seattle's South Lake Union.

To properly elevate the visual identity of the grand opening a mix of projection mapping activations were found to be the perfect fit.



Even as the afternoon sun was still setting the high powered projections and lighting were able to set the tone as scores of folks strolled through the opening of the new downtown oasis.



The attractions provided by Lumenarius included the entryway topographic projections, “gobo-style” projections above bars, uplighting, and a stellar collaboration on a mural with regional artist Mimi Kvinge.

Overall the opening was a success for the new establishment. The creative application of light with outdoor themes added a touch that reflected the space itself.



 

GEODESIC DOME 3D PROJECTION MAPPING CONTENT CREATION

 

When the visuals activate the entirety of a 360º space an incredible immersive quality is achieved.

The interior and exterior of geodesic domes, spheres, and full domes offer a prime surface for realizing this stunning experience via the art and science of 3D projection mapping.



In this setting the content truly is the space itself.

The number of projectors, choice of lens, cable routing, and of course content workflow all come into play.

When all the pieces align the space is utterly transformed in a seamless and convincing fashion.
