Sound, light, and projection mapping for the centenary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge (1917–2017)
A few seconds that make a difference in our day, in our life, in our country. These three seconds are at the heart of an immersive multimedia experience, designed for the Place des Héros, in Arras, France.
The video mapping covers three sides of the square and the entire Belfry. Thus, thanks to a team of 10 animators, an original orchestral score, two choirs, and 24 video projectors totaling 60 million pixels (almost as many as there are French people!), we offered our audience a moment of light.
The production was graciously offered to the city by the Canadian department of "Veterans Affairs".
The synopsis
A small memory box was all it took for Jeanne to convince Patrick and Richard to cross the Atlantic and join her in Arras. They find themselves in the region where their great-grandfathers crossed paths 100 years earlier during the Battle of Vimy. Together, our three friends want to delve into the past and pay tribute to their ancestors, but they do not know that what they are about to discover will mark them forever.
