Status: Completed 2014

Design: Imagination

A 28-metre long by 9-metre wide island stand showcasing an educational and informative experience on the Prelude Floating Liquified Natural Gas (FLNG) facility at Gastech 2014, Korea. Prelude, which is currently being built in Korean shipyards, will not only be the world's first FLNG facility, but is also one of the world's largest international ship-building projects ever undertaken. The focal point of the stand was a giant pulsing white cube housing 'Experience Prelude', a 3D projection-mapped immersive experience telling the FLNG story. In between shows, a live feed to the shipyard was streamed on screen helping to complete the experience. 

Project Role: Lead 3D Designer. Creating the concept, layout and details for the cube and stand. Working closely with the production team to realise the physical environments, allowing the digital team to work on producing and delivering the projection-mapping content, as well as allowing the graphics team to deliver the supporting narratives required to tell the story.
