For b-side 2021
As part of The History, Myths and Legends of Church Ope Cove project in partnership with Portland Museum, Dan and Guildhall School video designers will be responding to community-produced research to create a stunning, bespoke video animation to be projected onto a landmark close by the museum and inside the museum itself. Accompanied by sound, the video will dramatically bring the architecture of the buildings to life by using a projection mapping technique designed to enhance and highlight the buildings’ individual characteristics. And, with the featured research areas of the project covering such stirring subjects as smuggling, secret tunnels, Viking invasions, and landslides, visitors can expect to see a spectacular and dynamic slice of history reworked in an extraordinary fashion.
