Singapore’s Changi
Airport, which has been
named the World’s Best
Airport by Skytrax for six
consecutive years, com-
missioned Montreal-based
multimedia studio Mo-
ment Factory to produced
two media features in
Terminal 4 designed to
entertain passengers as
they navigate the air-
port’s remarkable interior.
Passing through security
screening, travellers are
enveloped by an immersive
media wall with a variety
of content capsules that
transform the ambiance.
Picturesque high-altitude
landscapes alternate with
virtual bas-relief sculptures
that subtly come to life.
In the heritage zone, real
and virtual traditional shop
house façades create an au-
thentic backdrop for local
culture and storytelling. The
security area screen is 70
m wide by 5 m tall with a 6
mm pixel pitch and a total
of 8,220,672 pixels.
For Cirque du Soleil’s on-ice
production Crystal, which made
stops at Quebec City’s Videotron
Centre and Montreal’s Bell Centre,
LD Éric Champoux and Video
Content Designer Johnny Ranger
used the BlackTrax real-time
tracking program from Toron-
to’s CAST Software. BlackTrax
enabled interactivity between the
lighting, automated followspots,
and video components. Crystal
is the first-ever ice-based experi-
ence from Cirque du Soleil, which
sees the title character set out
on a quest to fulfill her destiny as
she dives into a world of her own
imagination.
