SYNOPSiS

The sea birds fight for a piece of bread and in the hectic chaos a small seagull is able to claim the win. However, the swallowing of the bread almost leads to the bird's death – but luckily, it comes out the other side just at the right time.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

We had the opportunity to create a part of the festival's program that was going to be projected on the chapel in the oldtown of Lucerne. Since the Lilu festival is a big attraction for all ages, we came up with an easily enjoyable story aimed at a broad audience.

The challenge of that particular projection was to create an immersive and colorful world and we also had to take into account the viewer's position as the whole chapel can only be seen from one place. We hope the installation could be enjoyed as a story, a song and also a reminder to not feed the birds with bread because not always does it poop out so easily.

ANiMATED LOOPS

I animated the seagulls aswell as the guy eating bread and the post bike. Especially for the seagulls it was important to have a set of loops that could be assembled to create different kind of acting sequences. That saved a lot of time and made it possible to stay flexible and react to the music which was developed simultaneously.
