Projection Mapping / Video Mapping
TRANSFORMING SURFACES INTO LIVING CANVASES
Projection mapping — also known as video mapping or 3D projection — is the process of using projected light to create visual content that responds precisely to the shape and character of a surface. From historic architecture and theatre sets to sculpture, fabric and temporary installations, we create projection mapping projects tailored to each site, audience and creative brief.
With nearly two decades of experience, Vent Media has delivered projection mapping projects across theatre, dance, public art, festivals, galleries and large-scale architectural environments. Using tools such as Disguise, Pixera, and Notch, we develop content that is designed specifically for the spaces in which it will be experienced.
We offer a complete service, from concept development and creative collaboration through to photogrammetry, 3D model creation, content production, media server programming and on-site delivery. Whether working with architecture, performance, sculpture or installation, we can support projects at any stage of development.
Our workflow typically includes:
• Photogrammetry or detailed measurement to generate accurate 3D models
• Creation of bespoke visuals and animations designed specifically for the surface, site or story
• Media server programming and alignment using Disguise, Pixera or Notch for accurate and reliable playback
We specialise in complex multi-projector installations and have delivered projects ranging from the Tower of London and Glastonbury Festival's Temple Stage to immersive museum exhibits, public artworks and contemporary dance productions. Many of these projects combine pre-rendered content, real-time visuals and interactive technologies.
For us, projection mapping is a creative tool for shaping how people experience a space, a story or a performance. Whether subtle or large-scale, the technology works best when it supports the ideas behind the project.
