Comparing hieroglyphics to emojis, this project presents an informational video to guests within an Egyptian themed kiosk. Thru-put and engagement were particularly important to this project; DMX lights were used to mark certain moments within the video and direct attention back towards it.
A video was composited within After Effects, and to incorporate the display panel better into the themed set pictures were taken of the actual walls and used within the video itself.
