Heliosphere Projections from Knifedge on Vimeo.
What a way to open up a swim meet! The description from Vimeo.com:
This a film of projections that Knifedge created for the FINA World Swimming Championships opening ceremony in Manchester in April 2008. The brief was to create the illusion of events occurring within the 7m diameter helium balloon. This would then feel like the total show but when the second section of the show commences, when the balloons take off, it created an audible intake of breath from the entire audience. The heliosphere performance is the creation of our great friends, The Dream Engine.

I live in Manchester and I thought that event was sort of experimental in terms of the way they presented it. For example, the swimmers were called out one-by-one instead of filing out. Some things worked and some things didn’t. I agree that the opening ceremony is lovely though.
