Night Light : Mobile Projections

The Museum of Biblical Art in New York City commissioned this short film to mark the occasion of Presenting Bill Baker with the Visionary Award at their first Gala Event. Philippe de Montebello, the legendary former Director of Metropolitan Museum was among the cultural luminaries interviewed. We were commissioned directly by Martello Media whom we had collaborated with for EXPO 2010. The final video was screed before a large audience for Mobia’s Gala Night video honouring Bill Baker, the former President of WNET public television. This production was filmed against the sumptuous background of MOBIA’s “Passion in Venice’ exhibition.

‘ARK’ is a coming of age story of young love and rebellion set aboard a massive spacecraft (The ARK) midway on a 200-year trip to humanity’s new home.
This short proof of concept was produced as part of a presentation for the 2010 ENGAGE Programme. Based on 1st draft treatment. It does not represent a finished project or the any further re-writes which have taken place over the last six months. More then anything it serves to show-case the backdrop to our narrative and give a broad sense of tone.

421 A.D. ROME IS BURNING
On the fringe of the old empire there lies a land the Caesars dared not tame.
Divided, Four Warring provinces starve the land of peace.
The Golden Age a distant Memory,
All live and die at the hands of the Druid.
