FITC Signage 2014
Design
Step one - Design the layout and dimensions in sketchup.
Making the frames for each sign.
Special makeshift rig using autopoles to hold all signs while they dry.
Painting the light fixtures black.
Mounting the light fixtures to the sign and daisy chaining the lights so they can be controlled simultaneously via a DMX controller.
Paint touch-ups.
Testing that all lights and fixtures are working.
Programming the lights and lasers using TouchDesigner.
Two of the signs with lights off. We like the matte black look and how the font appears somewhat 3D coming off of the wood.
Hanging the signs from a truss, installing power and DMX controller/connection.
FITC 2014 begins.

FITC Signage 2014
Design
The team of FITC Toronto approached us about creating an eye catching installation for the entrance of their 2014 event. Based on inspiration from light-based artists including Dan Flavin, Lori Hersberger, James Clar and Francois Morellet.
Here are some behind-the-scenes images and video of the production process.
