Original Composition
We were commissioned by the City of Liverpool to devise a 30 minute Video Mapping Show as the visual climax to the cities celebrations marking the historic visit of the three largest Liners in the prestigious Cunard fleet.
As part of the Cunard Lines 175th birthday celebrations and to mark the occasion for the City we created a show for over 80,000 visitors over the course of three nights.
Three iconic buildings along the Pier Head collectively referred to as the “Three Graces” were transformed into a video mapped canvas to perform “The Amazing Graces”
Featuring a Sea of Faces of the people that make up the rich cultural heritage of Liverpool along with scenes from Cunard’s vast history we devised and produced a 25 minute spectacle complete with a specially commissioned score by composer Pete M Wyer. The show was developed in consultation with the people of Liverpool with “Hope Street Ltd” carrying out local research and audience engagement.
We wanted to create a show with video mapping at its heart that was capable of reaching out into the audience. In order to advance the narrative and to spread the effect across the widest audience area we deployed waterscreens, Aerial Artists, Lasers, and Water Fountains throughout.
