SYDNYE 2020 / ANIMATED CONTENT

The New Years Eve Fireworks on Sydney Harbour is an iconic part of Sydney culture. I was very excited to be invited by Artists in Motion to collaborate on the SYDNYE 2020 Harbour Bridge projection content. We produced a variety of content that was projected on the massive bridge pylons which compliment the epic fireworks display. The pylons were transformed through animation into a huge range of creative spaces, objects and worlds including a huge telescope viewing our solar system, a sky filled with clouds forming native Australian animals, a colourful whirling ball pit and a future tech light tunnel. The pylons were built in 3D down to the exact detail of each brick which allowed for creative surface animations such as ripples and custom shape brick flips. We also created a 5 minute Calling Country animation which opened the New Years Eve event on the harbour and also screened on the ABC.
