Multi-dimensional show goes beyond the auditorium at Sundance Film Festival

Independent movie fans got a glimpse of the “Cinema of the Future" at Sundance Film Festival, witnessing first-hand how video projection mapping can enhance the entertainment “wow” factor of cinema – outdoors! Barco supported the Festival’s presentation of a unique 3D projection mapping show with its HDX-W18 large-venue projectors, delivering the ultra-brightness, high reliability and simple, seamless operation needed to present the show in its best light.

 
Created by immersive video entertainment producer Klip Collective, the vignette completely wrapped the venue for the 2013 edition of “New Frontier” at the Festival, bringing an innovative twist to the iconic independent film event. Klip Creative Director Ricardo Rivera envisioned a “man vs. machine” steampunk-styled vignette entitled and inspired by the Tom Waits song “What’s He Building in There.”

The New Frontier program showcases films, media installations, multimedia performances, transmedia experiences and panel discussions that explore the convergence of film, art, new media technology and storytelling. The Festival’s fans look to the organization as a leader in cinematic innovation and breakthrough film artistry, and companies like Barco enthusiastically support their efforts to highlight the latest visualization technologies available to filmmakers and event promoters.
