A selection of projects and events January - July 2009

3D PRINT  Wastebuster

www.wastebuster.co.uk is an environmental awareness campaign for schools designed to help save the planet earth by recycling, reducing, reusing and busting global waste. The project was to create a series of animated and morphing lenticular images for an exhibition designed to teach school children the benefits of recycling. The lenticular images show a typical item of rubbish transforming into a recycled item of use. Morphing the images was the perfect way to communicate the recycling process.

A fully 3D and animated lenticular image of Busta and Pong, the Wastebuster mascots, was also provided to attract the attention of children in schools and other environments. If you would like to purchase a Busta and Pong lenticular image for yourself or for your school please contact Wastbuster directly.

 

 

3D PRINT  Septimius Severus at the British Museum

3D Print was recently commissioned to record a large format three-dimensional lenticular of the marble bust of Septimius Severus at the British Museum in London. Unable to borrow the actual artefact the piece was produced for Durham University to feature in an exhibition entitled An Archaeology of 'Race'

3D Print transported its VIP (Video Images with Parallax) camera system to the museum where it was given a day to shoot this valuable artefact.

 

This lenticular image can be purchased from www.livingposter.com

 

The IHPA  Visit of Princess Anne

Rob Munday was given a unique opportunity to present his portraits of Her Majesty the Queen and Henry Allingham as well as his unique hologram of the helmet of King Henry VIII to Princes Anne on her recent visit to Shepperton Film Studios.

Spatial Imaging’s 3D Print was asked to produce a very special Blue Peter badge The Factbyte Factory badge contains an animated lenticular image which oscillates between the Blue Peter logo and a "factbyte" logo: Introduced in early 2009, this badge is awarded to those achieving VIP Level 7 in the online Factbyte Factory game. 

 

3D PRINT  Sean Connery in the James Bond film Dr No

3D Print has produced a large format 3D lenticular image from a single frame of the James Bond Dr. No film for an exhibition on the British film industry and for display at Pinewood and Shepperton film studios.

 

The software and technique used to produce a three-dimensional image from a flat one is quite new. 3D print’s artists are accomplished at the craft and have converted many different types of images which were never originally intended to be three-dimensional. Many others can be seen at www.livingposter.com

 

3D PRINT  FASHIONAIR at Selfridges in Oxford Street, London

Spatial Imaging through its 3D Print division was recently commissioned to produce several medium format animated lenticular images to promote the launch of FASHIONAIR at Selfridges in Oxford Street.

 

The lenticulars were affixed to both sides of the windows of Selfridges, one of London’s most famous department stores, and consisted of an animated keyhole, shown to the left of the doors, and a pair of animated eyes, show in the sunglasses to the right of the doors. The lenticular images, which provided an animation effect, were designed to be viewed from the street by shoppers as they passed by.
