Projection on the Castle in Moravany nad Váhom

(2021)

After the last year, I enjoyed being a part of the festival Hradby Samoty again! For 2021 I prepared a Projection on the Castle in Moravany nad Váhom and a project A bit of luck - a treasure hunt game for visitors.

Check out also my projects from 2020.

The projection

One of my issues while making this video was the rhythm. Because I didn’t know what will be playing during the screening - noises from the outdoor stage program, tunes from the catering place, or deep drums from the basement of the castle. Should it be fast? Or slower? It’s somewhere in between.

About the festival

Hradby Samoty (Walls of Solitude) is a festival that focuses on audiovisual projects from genres such as dark ambient, dark folk, drone, industrial, and noise. The idea of the festival is to join these genres with the mysterious atmosphere of monuments marked by the ravages of time.

The visual

The animation tries to follow up the visual of the poster made by talented designer Jakub Svetlik.

Some screenshots from moments that I liked

Eye/Bugs

A simple morphing eye in which you can guess each second what you see in it. Do you see the bug, animal faces, or just some geometry?

Spider

I do have serious arachnophobia, so I made these guys very calm, not jumping or so. Just to be sure everybody will be fine during the festival screening : ).

“Jaguar“

I like this one a lot. I hope people will enjoy it too, looking at them from above : )

Scythe

Literally, 7 of them, because it’s a nice number.

Blue

I did my best to keep the color palette of the event also in the animation so it will be nicely matching everything. But couldn’t resist when I accidentally made the spider blue. Looking dope! I love these minimalistic combinations!

A bit of Luck

For all visitors, I prepared a treasure hunt game. I hide these pendants and symbols in the whole festival area. Visitors needed “A bit of luck” to find these unique souvenirs. The symbol is one of those in the animation.
