I took over during the contract signing and carried it through to delivery (where Cat rejoined and put the final kiss on it). | NYC’s new transportation hub reinvents an architectural icon, creating a world-class destination that charms travelers with the magic of experiential multimedia. As part of New York’s major upgrade to the transportation infrastructure at Pennsylvania Station, America’s busiest transit hub, the city’s cherished Farley Post Office Building has been transformed into the new Moynihan Train Hall, a world-class transit hub. To bring this reinvention to life, Empire State Development invited Moment Factory to collaborate on key media features that bring back the romance of travel while entertaining both daily commuters and travelers from afar. Our team developed a multimedia content strategy, as well as 7 animated capsules that highlight the vibrancy of New York city and NY State, the history of the iconic building, it’s unique architecture and the natural beauty of the state at large. Spanning 4 massive LED screens, identity, ambient and event capsules with custom transitions bring delight and discovery to the passenger journey, making the hall feel alive. Adapting our process to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we ensured a safe and seamless integration process with the on-site presence of our NYC office. We are thrilled to have contributed to a project that reinvents an NYC icon and brings wonder to travel and to public space. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Two interactive installations for the Studio Experience. Client: Changi Group. Directed by Sylvain Dumais. Made at Moment Factory with David D'Anjou, Andrew Merkin, and Genevieve Dufault. | As part of Moment Factory's ongoing collaboration with Changi Airport Group, we were mandated to design two new fun and inspiring airport-themed multimedia experiences for the Changi Experience Studio, a unique visitor attraction located within the airport’s groundbreaking Jewel mixed-use destination. Changi Experience Studio strives to go beyond entertainment, to encourage the physical health and well-being of travellers. With this challenge in mind, we created ‘Amazing Runway’, an interactive multiplayer game for up to ten participants, inspired by the airport’s 2009 legendary race between a Boeing 747 and a Porsche Carrera. As visitors pedal custom-built stationary bicycles, they team up to accelerate their famous vehicles down an immersive digital runway towards the finish line, in an exciting, richly animated competition. As the world’s top-ranked airport, Changi has sparked deep public interest in its success story of innovation and excellence. To satisfy the curiosity of visitors, our creative teams also conceived and produced ‘Finale’–an exciting virtual journey into Changi Airport’s dramatic history and its visionary dreams for the future, all set on a 180º screen. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Video wall content for all the flagship stores. Client: Microsoft. Directed by Armando Gomez. Made at Moment Factory with Joy Marsal and Sophie Carle. | For this project, we created a Holiday capsule to support the Microsoft Store Holiday campaign across their three flagship stores – Sydney, New York and London – located in high-traffic, high-profile shopping locations. Our challenge was to create a single overarching concept that would complement each location’s culture and distinct architecture. Microsoft wanted their stores to be part of the communities’ holiday celebration, yet stand out from surrounding décor. High-quality 3D animation was used to create a visual narrative and an illusion of space with lights mimicking the surroundings in a dance of movement and colour. The content was customized to fit the architecture of each location, playing with the screens’ 360° potential and creating virtual spaces beyond physical boundaries. Each immersive retail experience delivered impactful moments that captivated store visitors and passersby alike. Our holiday content was further extended, by creatively adapting it to the new year celebrations, allowing Microsoft to run its campaign all the way through January. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Mixing pro sports adrenaline with the look and feel of a mobile game, Moment Factory brought the action and excitement of Clash Royale to life at its first-ever world championship tournament. We were invited to set the stage for the Crown Championship World Finals in London. It was our first foray into eSports, and we went big. We wanted to define a new format for mobile game contests, one as immersive and memorable as its epic battles. We created video content, production and set design for the tournament. Working closely with the game developer, Supercell, and event firm Done and Dusted, we made a stage with real fire pits, oversized figures of characters, platform towers for players and 3D graphics for camera audiences. The atmosphere absorbed spectators into the visual world of this cult-following game as its best players staged assaults. The championship was streamed in 9 languages on multiple platforms and had 1.7 million views on English YouTube alone. We expanded the action by staging gameplay across the floor with projection mapping. Evoking the drama and power of pro sports let us scale the game from a handheld experience into a landmark event. | ||||||||||||||||||||

In collaboration with : Ambiances Design Productions, ATOMIC3, Éclairage Public / Ombrages, Lucion Média, Réalisations and UDO Design. | 2017 — Jacques-Cartier Bridge Interactive Illumination. Smart city programming and live visualisation. Client: Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated (JCCBI). Made at Moment Factory with Gabriel Pontbriand, David D'Anjou, and Marie Belzil. | An urban data-responsive light installation engineered to reflect the digital pulse of the city. In 2017, Moment Factory and six local partners fulfilled a long-held dream of lighting up the Jacques Cartier Bridge–an architectural jewel and iconic Montreal landmark. Directed by Jacques Cartier and Champlain Bridges Incorporated, collaborators shared one common goal: to give Montreal a new visual postcard and a showcase for the city’s creative and technological vanguard. The collaboration would result in the world’s most-connected bridge, a smart city illumination activated by real-time social media activity and big urban data. At nightfall, the bridge comes to life, expressing the team’s Living Connections concept in two ways. First: the bridge’s interior volume reflects the city’s changing seasons with an ambient colour for each of the 365 days, while the bridge’s exterior is animated by light particles driven by real-time social media that tags Montreal. These particles are influenced by data pulled from the day’s weather, traffic, news and mood. The bridge, now as impressive at night as during the day, is a unifying symbol of the city. The project broadcasts Montreal’s creative expertise to a world seeking solutions that elegantly unite smart-city infrastructure with artistry and design. Concept: Living Connections The Jacques Cartier Bridge, an iconic Montreal landmark, has been brought to life with a new and innovative lighting concept by Moment Factory in collaboration with six local partners. In a world’s first, the display is powered by both real-time social media and smart-city data from across Montreal. Activated and driven by the rhythm of the millions of human connections of the city, it represents the pulse of Montreal. A unifying symbol has become a reflection of Montreal’s dynamism. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Interactive Art Piece. "As More People Look at This Digital Horse, It Gets More Spectacular" - Wired | Looking at a Horse is about the context and experience of viewing art. It is a piece that changes its appearance depending on where it is located and who is viewing it. Moment by moment, in real-time, it updates how it looks in response to its surroundings, creating a feedback loop where the viewer and context are part of the piece. Art has a value in being looked at. Our perception of its value can be linked to where the work is viewed and who is viewing it. To look at art is to place it in relation to ourselves and the space around it. Looking at a Horse plays on this by changing its value in response to visitors.

WebGL film. Client: The Creators Project. Made at Nexus Studios with Luke Ritchie, Tim Dillon, Mark Lundin, Ben Blundell, Diederick Huijbers, and Plaid | ‘The Carp and the Seagull’ is an interactive short film about one man’s encounter with the spirit world and his fall from grace. It is a user driven narrative that tells a single story through the prism of two connected spaces. One space is the natural world and the other is the spirit or nether world. The film's protagonist is Masato, a simple fisherman, spending his days fishing the waters near his village eking out a quiet, structured life. The Carp and the Seagull focuses on his encounter with the Yuki-onna ghost. The word ‘Yuki’ is Japanese for snow and a Yuki-onna is a snow woman that strikes fear in mortals with her deathly eyes and pale skin. She is associated with snow storms and blizzards and inhabits both life and the after-life. The story is told in a stripped down polygonal style that reflects the emotional, spiritual states of the characters. High density, smooth polygon vertices indicate oneness with the world while distorted, non-uniform shapes show unease within the characters. The film's original score and sound design by Plaid lead the user through the interactive journey. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The project, conceived by Wieden + Kennedy, was brought to life by Nexus directors Hellicar & Lewis. With the use of innovative technology and a live stream broadcast platform, they enabled fans to inspire the creation of the song. 139 countries participated to this unique experience in the world of live music. Using OpenFrameworks input was taken in real time from the band’s instruments and their movements in front of a large-scale projection-mapped sculpture. When the fans visited the site they were able to see the studio from a variety of angles, and comment via Twitter. These comments were then projected into the studio in real time, allowing a feedback loop between band and audience. As well as commenting, fans could suggest ideas for lyrics, riffs and rhythms for the new single, that was composed entirely from scratch during the session. | |||||||||||||||||||||
45 | 2011 | Art | The Old Man and the Sea | Independent | C++ | Director | https://vimeo.com/13634768 | My week's output for the Visualist Master Class at Eyebeam NY, July 19th-23rd. This piece was written in C++ and is fully interactive. The basis of the course was to create a visual accompaniment to a song off the Ghostly International label. Choosing The Sight Below's 'Simmer' I decided to recreate Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea as a serious of 3D dioramas. In the novella, the protagonist has lost his pride and respect within the community because he has not caught a fish for 86 days. On the 87th day, a giant Marlin appears who he battles to catch. After a long struggle where he refers to the Marlin as 'brother,' he finally subdues the fish and brings him aboard. On the way back to land, the fisherman has to fight off numerous sharks who are attracted by the trail of blood in the water. Eventually, the fisherman returns to land with just the massive bones left. The ordeal can be read as the man's fight for his sense of self and purpose with the Marlin the physical representation. My interest lay in the use of polygon reduction as a storytelling tool. 3D graphics models are made up of a series of points (vertices) that are 'skinned' to create models. The more points, the smoother and more detailed the model. Could reducing/increasing the number of points on a model be used to drive a story forward or create a emotional response? Throughout the piece the character's emotional state is represented by both the polygon count and distortion of the water. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
46 | 2011 | Commercial | Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 | Spov | Activision | Worldwide | Film | Art Director | Creative Direction: Allen Leitch Quake Partners: Kieran Gee-Finch & Chris Boyle | https://www.spov.tv/projects/call-of-duty-black-ops-2 | With a storyline set in both the 1980s and in 2025, Spov developed two distinct art styles and production routes to clearly differentiate between eras. The narrative sequences were designed to tell the 1980s backstory and give context to the 2025 sequences as they evolve in realtime for the player. Current commercial and military technology prototypes were used for inspiration to develop screen graphics depicting how the world might be viewed in 2025. From this emerging technology, Spov created a technical vision through which the global narrative could unfold as the player tries to make sense of tangled events and prevent an emerging catastrophe, put in motion by the game’s calculating villain, Raul Menendez. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

52 | 2010 | Commercial | Darkstar: Gold Music Video | Sembler | Hyperdub | Worldwide | Film | Director | Developer: Max Worgan DP: Mark Adcock | https://vimeo.com/15391189 | 2010 — Darkstar: Gold. Music video. Client: Hyperdub Records. Made with Max Worgan. | Commissioned by Hyperdub Records, I directed, animated and programmed the music video for Darkstar's first single off their first album, North. Titled Gold the video is an artistic representation of the concept of memetic contagion i.e. an idea as something that you can catch, that finds a host in the mind of a person. To create the 3D point clouds of Darkstar's heads, we used Kyle Mcdonald's open source structured light scanner. By projecting three phases of a cosine pattern across the faces of Darkstar we produced accurate 3D models of each member. With a bit of coding trickery, we then brought this data into After Effects to animate the individual points. Instead of relying on the usual package of particle software, we wrote our own. Written in C++ with openFrameworks, the aim was to give the 'gold contagion' a unique look and one that wasn't out there in the usual After Effects/Cinema4D arsenal. So how to show the insides of Darkstar? The thought of building a 3D model of the brain occurred to us but we wanted it to look as realistic as possible. To do this we decided to source images directly from The National Library of Medicine in Maryland. A program they run, The Visible Human Project aims "to create a digital image dataset of complete human male and female cadavers in MRI, CT and anatomical modes." Using the anatomical and MRI data sets we constructed traversal animations as biological stand-ins for Darkstar. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The subject of this work is a series of iconic pieces from the museum’s Flemish collection, focusing specifically on Rubens’ and Van Dyck’s grand altarpieces. Strata #4 is the result of a study and exploration of the paintings themselves, delving beneath their figurative appearance and looking at the very rules behind the composition, colour schemes and proportions of each piece. It is a precise process aimed at creating new contemporary images based on universal rules of beauty and perfection. Documenting the improbable collisions between classical figuration and contemporary abstraction, Strata #4 aims to create an harmonious dialogue between worlds that may appear very distant from one another, but in fact share so much in common. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

68 | 2009 | School | Darkstar: Labryinths | Independent | Goldsmiths | Live | Director | https://vimeo.com/6593757 | Created as part of my MA degree. | 2009 — Darkstar: Labryinths. Reactive visuals for live performance. Client: Hyperdub Records | Labyrinths is a software suite that acts as a platform for musicians and film-makers to structure, then perform, hypertextual works of film in real-time. Drawing on the modernist form of multi-linear narration, it aims to bridge the gap between online hypertexts (such as the world wide web) and live video performance. To demonstrate the software, I have created an animated film entitled "Aidy's Girl Is A Machine." This is based on the music of Hyperdub recording artist Darkstar. Directed alongside Darkstar, the film explores the emotional relationship between two machinic beings. Written in four chapters, and divided into over 300 individual animations, Aidy's Girl Is A Machine encapsulates a simple one-dimensional story but, taking place within the mind of the protagonist, is fragmented and redrawn through memory and time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
