University of Virginia

October 6, 2017.

The 200th anniversary of University of Virginia.
The most epic job we've ever done.

22,000 people.
23 minutes of high-end content.
On the rotunda. The center piece of UVA.

On October 6th, 1817, Thomas Jefferson layed the cornerstone of UVA. And the rest, as they say,...

And with the tragic August events in Charlottesville, this job took on a whole new meaning, as we covered the greatest moments of the University's storied history.
The highs. And the lows.

And Philippe Bergeron's cousin, Sylvain Bellemare, who just won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing ("Arrival"), created the superb soundtrack.

Thanks to Jody Kielbasa, and Mitch Levine, from UVA, for trusting us!

For the geeks in all of us:
6 30k Boxer Christie Projectors.
2 D3 4x4, for media players.

Thanks to the amazing team at PaintScaping:
