CHALLENGE
How hard can it be to turn a global blockbuster movie into a 12,000 square feet interactive exhibition then take it on tour? Electrosonic, working with Lionsgate, Thinkwell Group and Imagine Exhibitions, took on the challenge of designing, supplying and integrating audiovisual systems for Hunger Games: The Exhibition. The audiovisual installation across seven galleries is complex in itself, featuring projection mapping on three dimensional sets, interactive maps and touch tables, interactive sketchbooks and a Microsoft Kinect motion sensing exhibit. Projection mapping, for example, required special lens selection to warp architectural imagery onto the 3-D set.
The opening exhibition had to be completed within a very tight schedule, but the entire installation had to be engineered and fabricated as a modular touring system transported in 58 custom cases that would be easy to set up and dismantle at a series of global sites. The team described the logistics as an ‘enormous interactive puzzle.’
