MAPPING MILL
Light up your Town or City Centre
Annual Festivals and Cultural Events
A Golden Opportunity for Councils and Private Enterprise
This is a fantastic opportunity to light up your town or city centre, and bring your community together. We can already speak from experience having achieved this with events in Italy. We have seen for ourselves the reaction of the crowd when experiencing a video projection.
Video projection mapping has the capacity to transform any object onto a screen. We have the ability to take a real-world object, such as a building, and project onto it's walls and generally manipulate it's usual geometry.
Often site-specific, the best work enhances rather than effaces the architecture it's projected onto. The sheer scale can be breath taking and the illusion of everyday and static objects around us becoming animate and playfully reworked can be incredibly exciting. So why not light up your town or city centre and watch the expressions on the audience's faces light up too, and you'll witness sheer amazement.
- Celebrating a recently restored important historical building or landmark.
- Opening ceremony of a new building development or public area.
- Anniversary of town's birth.
- In support of hosting a major national or international event.
- Additional installations within light related festival events.
Independently our team have been involved in many successful projection festivals, providing consultation, technical support, creative ideas and contributing with outdoor projection mapping. Mapping Mill strives to build on this experience at home in the UK.
You may have an existing annual lighting event or indeed are in the process of planning a new public event for your community and visitors. We are able to offer our expertise and provide proposals for mapping projections for any of your town's public spaces. You may have in the past considered having a festival in your city centre but not yet realised your dream. Let us help you light up your town or city centre, either by providing a mapping projection on a building as part of your program or being part of your team in realizing a new festival or annual event.
Whether you represent a council or operate as an independent events organiser, why not take the first step and call us today on 07533 722001
