6th November, Halle Freyssienet, Paris

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.

28th September St Martin In The Fields, London

Nina has recently provided ‘illuminations’ for an evening to celebrate the arrival of the first illuminated Bible created in 500 years at St Martin in the Fields. She brought to life seven of the key images created by Donald Jackson that appear in the Bible, using the architecture of the church and the east window as a canvas.

Here are a few of the sequences:

Recent work also includes projection content for surfaces including 2 helium balloons and 4 circular floor mats for the Opening ceremony of the IAAF World Indoor Athletics Championships in Doha.

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.
