BRIEF
An immersive space projecting animated work from the series ‘Professor Munakata’. The story takes place at the British Museum. The idea would be pages from the mangas situated in the lightboxes below would float up and animate scenes on the 3 projectors.
APPROACH
A storyboard was mocked up using elements from the Manga. It was important to convey a sense of dynamism and using scenes that would tell a story and animate well. Through warping and parallax: I was able to bring scenes to life in a short timeframe.
RESULTS
The AV was exhibited from the 23 May to 26 August 2019 at the British Museum.
