Just Finished: A Plague's Tale: Requiem

Beauty is the word that it comes to mind when I think of this game. It grew a lot from the first entry and so it grew all its characters. Everything was improved from the first game as it became more complex, tense, scarier, lovely, and challenging. Amicia is not a little fragile girl anymore. She's stronger a willing to kill if that means protecting her family. So forget about all the puzzle based game you played the first time, because now you'll need to take more action if you want to get through the rats, the soldiers and the evil minded people you'll get across. Explore the south of France and find its beauty in a very passionate story driven puzzle/action game. I would rate it 10/10 now

Down The Rabbit Hole

by The Macula

"Down the Rabbit Hole" is a concept inspired by the famous book "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll and also by a very specific atmosphere of the city of Blackpool, which we consider as a unique place where people come to leave behind their everyday reality and exchange it for feelings of relaxation and release so they can - at least for a moment – live their hidden desires and dreams. 8 minutes long story about wonders of new unexplored wast worlds giving us hope and fear at the same time. Filled with knowledge and high expectations... The inspiration for this year is Commander Tim Peake, the first British astronaut to board the International Space Station. The show explores his remarkable mission of determination and ambition: a journey that will drag the audience into worlds without gravity: beautiful, fantastic, full of risk and uncertainty.

ТЕХНОЛОГИИ ДОШЛИ ДО ФИЛАРМОНИЙ!

SIM/NEBULA - 45-минутное видеомэппинг представление, самое мощное впечатляющее музыкальное представление из когда-либо проходивших в Чехии, с участием живого оркестра из 118 музыкантов под руководством дирижера Jiri Belohlavek.

Представление прошло рамках проекта Macula в сотрудничестве с оркестром Чешской филармонии и 11 международными музыкантами со всего мира. Собравшись вместе участники разрабатывали и развивали историю из семи разделов / тем: материя (Matter), технология (Technology), сообщение (Message), Миссия (Mission), Новый мир (New World), сближение/рандеву (Rendezvous) и рождение (Birth).

В общей сложности были задействованы 10HD проекторов: 4 на потолке, 4 на главной сцене, и 2 на колоннах. При создании визуальных эффектов использовались 3ds Max, Cinema 4D и Adobe After Effects + было задействовано специльно разработанное программное обеспечение Resolume VJ Software. 

P. S. Сам по себе проект Macula заслуживает отдельного внимания. Данный проект исследует отношения между изображение, звук и зрителя. Он борется против установленных пределов и раздвигает границы в поисках альтернативных подходов! Игра света с физическими объектами создает новое измерение и изменяет восприятие, казалось бы, обычного объекта. Цель состоит в том, чтобы достичь идеального симбиоза и удовлетворить аудиовизуальный нигилизм.

Пришло время вкусить наслаждение. Симфония №6, композитор Пётр Ильич Чайковский.

sim nebula | part 5 | new world SIM/NEBULA is a 45 minutes long videomapping performance, marked the first fully immersive videomapping ever made in Czech Republic, involving a live orchestra of 118 musicians conducted by Jiri Belohlavek and 10 x 20k projectors on four sides of the auditorium (front, two sides and ceiling). 45 minutes of expressively futuristic visual poems, shaping the emergence of cybernetic organism counting down its time code in live acoustic waves of classical music. The Macula in collaboration with the Czech Philharmonic orchestra and 11 international artists from all over the world worked on the story made of seven sections/themes (Matter, Technology, Message, Mission, New World, Rendezvous, and Birth), set against the background of the performance, which combines technological and creative attributes of projection mapping, VFX and motion graphics to create the outstanding experience. Project was commissioned by Ceska sporitelna to celebrate 190 years of their existence and the new partnership with the Czech philharmonic. We were responsible for Part 5: New world, the visuals that are accompanying to composer Tchaikovsky The Symphony No. 6It was a great pleasure for us to be a part of the team and thanks to everyone who is involved in this massive project.

Prendre la réalité et, grâce à la lumière et au son, la déconstruire, la rebâtir, la transformer, l'émietter ... Un baroque contemporain, assez fascinant.
