HMAS Vampire
This is a new installation/location at this years Vivid Sydney
The HMAS Vampire is docked in front of the Australian National Maritime Museum in Darling Harbour
I’ve shot this from in the middle of the bank of five protection towers to get some beams coming in from the top and sides to fill some of that empty space above the ship
This projection is more technically complicated than the typical building projection. Besides more tricky detail in the projection surface of the ship. It’s also on water so Technical Direction Company (the company which does the large scale projections) had to also account for things like the tides. So the projections automatically move up and down with the tides as the ship rises and falls over time
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
