Union Station's Beaux-Arts facade was transformed into a canvas for a 3D projection mapping video that was the centerpiece for the iconic Kansas City building's centennial celebration,entitled, 'The Monument Comes Alive.' Bazillion Pictures created the 3D animation, visual effects and motion graphics for the project, and crafted the multitude of digital assets into a spectacle of imagery, color and light that tells the story of this architectural landmark and how it adapted and persevered through a tumultuous century. The multi-media installation garnered two Gold awards at the 2015 American Advertising Federation Awards (AAF-Kansas City,) on the heels of winning top honors at the Telly Awards.Agency: Quixotic

Quixotic provided Bazillion with mood boards and art direction for many of the different scenes, along with mapping specs, and onsite operations specifications. Using old blueprints and photo reference Jon Kendrick built an exact digital model of the Union Station façade. The replica was used during every phase of production, ensuring that the animation would exactly map onto every detail of the structure, enabling illusions – such as the movement of the building’s architectural elements and animated 3D objects – to seamlessly move and interact with one another. The digital model also was key to the creation of dramatic lighting effects that hit their mark, glowing and illuminating areas of the interior and exterior of the building and casting realistic shadows.

Bazillion provided a one-stop approach to the video for the project, from animation, visual effects, motion graphics, 3D modeling and texturing to editing and color correction. Its team turned out a wealth of visual assets and shaped them into a captivating visual story. Historic photographs were juxtaposed with original 3D animation – such as a larger than life dinosaur breaking through a window that shatters into shards, and a train track that grows into a huge rollercoaster-like structure as a train moves along its rails like a giant serpent – to create a visually compelling multi-media show.
