Uber-Cool Video Projections On Buildings

There’s been a lot of hot fuss lately about what’s possible with new projection media, especially in urban environments, onto building facades, etc. Last time I was in Paris there was similar stuff emerging on building walls in the Marais, but this seems to be evolving quickly and really taking off. Impressive live performance here in this video from NuFormer.

If you liked that real clip and you want to see what NuFormer think is possible, check out this digitally-created sample clip. Pretty mind blowing as well. Won’t be long now…

Thinking of what’s possible integrating this stuff with animated still photographs or co-mingling it with still photos and video nearly makes me tinkle.

[thx PSFK and Dov for the tip.]

      Same concept but much more 3d in effect

      Cool, something for Jean-Michel Jarre to look at, perhaps?

      It's fantastic what you can do with a bit of imagination and some technical skills :) I saw a proyection in Palma de Mallorca earlier this year that was outstanding.

      Here is the link:

      It's worth waiting for the video to upload. If you cannot wait search for "oberts al món" in youtube for other recordings of the same.

      I like the way the way the images interact with the buildings.

      Spectacular, and safer than fireworks.

      For me it seems really '80's.. might be for the fact that I grew up with amiga demos.

      But I guess it would be a different experience if you saw it live.. The small screen just cant do it justice..

      Yeah representing the Netherlands…
