BBC FutureWorld: Gormenghast & Walking with Dinosaurs Exhibition
"I was hugely impressed
by the work which eMoot did for the FutureWorld exhibition. The result was a stunning combination of technical expertise
and audio-visual creativity which was undoubtedly one of the most popular elements of the exhibition. The fact that this
was achieved against almost impossible deadlines was equally remarkable"
David Vercoe, Project Director BBC FutureWorld
Client: BBC
Brief: To design and build
an exhibition for BBC FutureWorld to showcase both the Walking with Dinosaurs and Gormenghast series.
eMoot were also commissioned to produce FutureWorld Challenge.
The Project: Using props
from both series, and collaborating with the two producers and other members of the production teams, eMoot designed
and developed a highly technical and creative exhibition. It incorporated a specially-written 15-minute
double-widescreen (32x9) film presented and narrated by Stephen Fry. This included computer-controlled lighting
effects, relating scenes in the film with items in the exhibition. It also featured 5-way surround-sound and an
automated live example of Colour Separation Overlay.
The exhibition itself included the "Dino-Scare" feature where a live
camera, pressure pads, screens and sound effects gave the impression of a dinosaur roaring over your shoulder.
Other features included plasma screens embedded into rocks, an Indian timber, glass-windowed wall housing some of the
costumes and models from Gormenghast and surround-sound atmospheric sound-effects.
