Peter Pan CGI, UK

ust finished working on a somewhat unusual project in London, a new theatre production of Peter Pan in the middle of Kensington gardens. So why is this on cgtalk I hear you yell, because the entire interior of the tent also doubles up as a gigantic 360 degree projection screen



We used 10 gigantic video projectors to fill the inside of the circular tent so that the audience which sits around the central stage has an all-encompassing background view behind the actors. Backdrops range from gently swaying trees which inconspicuously sit behind the cast, all the way up to a 5 minute flight over london which the cast interact with as they fly to Neverland.



Video is projected onto the inside of the tent at an epic 10,000 pixels wide, so it should all look pretty detailed no matter where you look. The whole thing was done in cinema 4D 11, photoshop and after effects. Most of the artists never met each other from the start of the project to the end, we all worked remotely at opposite ends of the world; Australia, England, New York, Netherlands... We love teh internets.



A fuller writeup should be coming in 3d World at some point so keep an eye out. The show runs in central London until August where it will either move to a more sheltered venue in the UK or move over to north America for a tour there.
