Nina and the Knifedge team provided a spectacle of multi-dimensional projection integrated with live action and spatial surround sound to introduce Wella’s four new trends for 2011 at the ITVA in Paris, an event organized and produced by Jack Morton Worldwide.

Working with Kim Gavin (Choreography), Richard Knight (Lighting), David Brown (Sound), David Hearn (Composer), Adam Doherty and Charlotte Duffin (Producers) and with James Cooksey deftly programming and operating Catalyst, audiences were treated to a conceptual display of the essence of the four key looks for the coming year preceding the catwalk shows showcasing the looks.

Eight projectors were used in total with content linked between the mats and between the front and back of the heliospheres.

Here is the main projection section, starting with the landing of the aerialists. Once docked, we then used the heliospheres as projection surfaces for a variety of additional items of content supporting the opening ceremony activity.

Nina was commissioned by Hermès to transform an outdoor interior courtyard at Paris’ Musée de La Chasse into a fantasy underwater environment for their private event on 15th March 2010. Sound design by Thierry Planelle.
