NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SINGAPORE
Haroko was commissioned to aid in the creation of a motion graphics piece that goes back to the very beginning of the National Museum of Singapore, depicting its' changes over the years and followed by a series of still photography shot by Peter Lau showcasing the conservation, restoration and new building extensions of the museum.
While black & white photos were derived from the Museum's archives, thousands of high resolution photographs were shot for this production and extensive intricate cut-outs were made to achieve as much parallax as possible when they're positioned in 3d space. This also allows for more interesting compositions.
95% of video footages that can be seen are really digital photos shot continuously while on the move. A set of hundreds of images for a particular scene were then sequenced together to form a video clip that expectedly appeared jerky and disorientating.
Due to the fact that the images were shot at only several frames per second, the result was a clip that looked liked it was sped up tremendously. HRK approached this problem by first removing high frequency shakes while retaining the general move, then extended the sequence by digitally recreating whole new inbetweens.
