THE JELLIES EXPERIENCE | APRIL 2014 - SEPTEMBER 2016
Managed $430K Interpretive Media budget and 1.5 year research, design, production, and install schedule
Led design of 18 Interpretive Media experiences - 4 digital interactives, 6 video experiences, 8 sound zones
AV hardware included 19 monitors, 9 projectors, 12 video players, 9 PCs, and 40+ speakers
Fluid and Graceful Video Wall - 4 65” monitors playing composited and synchronized video of jellyfish pulsing to the beat of the soundscape greeted visitors as they entered the exhibit.
Pulse-a-Jelly - 2 blended short-throw projectors created a 22ft wide screen that displayed three computer generated jellyfish models. Visitors used large custom made input devices to control the jellies’ movements.
Kaleidoscope Interactive - A short-throw projector displayed a circular image on a six foot wide screen. In the middle of the image was a small pinhole camera that captured video of visitors in real time. Visitors’ images and movement were then sliced up and displayed in a mesmerizing circular kaleidoscopic display.
Draw-a-Jelly Interactive - 5 touchscreen kiosks allowed visitors to digitally “fingerpaint” drawings of jellyfish. When finished drawing their jellies, software would bring visitors' jellies to life by pulsing and animating them through an underwater scene. Visitors could also email copies of their animated jellies to family and friends.
Bioluminescence Interactive - An HD projector created a 20ft wide underwater scene. Silhouetted jellies pulsed through a scene of plankton and marine snow. When visitors stepped in front of the screen a camera tracked their movements. When their shadow intersected with a jellyfish, it would light up in a beautiful bioluminescent display and swim away.
Immersive Exit Experience - AS visitors walked out of the exhibition, 2 HD short-throw projectors created a 30ft ultra-wide screen displaying blended video of freshwater jellyfish from the island of Palau.
