Art at Colombo

•

Ten years ago, the arts arrived at Colombo. Since then many artworks have been presented at the mall, from Lichtenstein to Dalí.

To mark the moment, the agency State Of The Art proposed the challenge of building a film based on the imagery of each exhibition.

Homy Animation teamed up with Post United to create and bring to life this celebration of a decade of striking exhibitions.

Pre-Production

The storyboard defined the action and the visual concept. To make it's reading easier, it was rendered using color only on the elements to be superimposed and animated.

Editing and Post-production

The final result was paciently built using tracking techniques, stabilizing some shots, then adding 3D and 2D animation, and finally enhancing with visual effects and overall colouring.

Shooting On Location

The live action shooting took place at Colombo Mall during two days.
We used drones for exteriors and some interiors, and camera mountings on slider and gimball.
In one of the scenes, we used a LED panel as background, using a looping animation previously prepared.

The Event

The film première was part of the opening event for the 2020 exhibition, "Mundus Imaginalis" - a conceptual installation by the collective Error-43. More at www.colombo.pt/artecolombo
