Multi-screen programs can be large-scale or intimate, and highly informative or atmospheric. They make an impact on audiences because the screen array is not like a home television, nor like a cinema, but are specific to a particular location.
We have produced a number of multi-screen installations all with different aims, either shooting footage ourselves or sourcing existing footage, or using a combination of both.
Australian Museum, Sydney, Jun 08
This is a large, three-screen atmospheric video program that captures a snapshot of life in and on a single scribbly gum in an average Sydney backyard. We shot sequences of the tree over the course of a year. The program shows the passing of time from the emergence of the cicadas, through blossom time and shedding of bark.
Healesville Sanctuary, Victoria, Dec 05
A multi-screen show projected onto four glass screens in a specially created room is shown at the centre of the building. The program features interviews with AWHC staff and animal carers, footage from the operating theatre and sequences of music and spoken word to outline the process of rescue, recovery and release of injured and orphaned wild animals.
Queensland Museum Sciencentre, Oct 04
We created two separate video productions for this project with the mission of conveying the wonder and magic of the scientific world. Both comprise two synchronised video streams that play back on adjacent plasma panels.
