Simon Fraser University

50th Anniversary Celebration with Projection Mapping

We are honoured to have produced a prestigious 3D mapping show for Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.

We worked closely with Sue Porter, the Associate Director of Ceremonies & Events at SFU, to create the concept and produce a 2-minute journey through the three main campuses in BC – Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey.

This activation earned Go2 a Gold DSE award (Digital Signage Expo) for outstanding content and creative execution.

Techniques used: Projection Mapping, 3D Animation
Client: SFU

Overview

During a site visit to the Wong Theatre at SFU’s Vancouver location, we were asked if we could create a video experience to appear on a screen hung in front of the theatre’s unique back wall. We took one look at the wall and said, “We should forget the screen and map the entire wall.”

Using the back wall of their illustrious theatre as a surface, we transformed the block wall and three wooden columns into a hidden SFU brick room, an underground train station and the window of a flying craft that takes us on a journey from campus to campus. All are ending with spectacular fireworks to celebrate the lead-up to the 50th anniversary of SFU and the launch of their $250m fundraising campaign.

Go2 has been successfully producing high-impact projection mapping content for surface mapping & big brand events for many years and is an established leader in the field of high-impact content creation.
