During a recent visit to Barcelona I stumbled upon an experience I had admired from afar on my blog almost a year ago: 3D building projections. The evening before the start of the city's annual Mercé Festival we passed through the Placa de Sant Jaume just as technical adjustments were being made to a projection on the facade of the City Council building that anchors the south side of the square. We came back the following night and watched the show in all its glory, which was as entertaining and technically impressive as I had hoped. I haven't been able to confirm that it was the work of the Dutch company NuFormer Digital Media, but it seems highly likely.
Video 1: Sped-up footage of some of the set-up process which consisted of many minute alignment adjustments.Video 2: What I consider to be the greatest hits of the show.
Video 3 & 4: An almost complete record of the entire show in two parts, which clock in at about 11 minutes, and is recommended for readers with a lot of time on their hands.
