Bazillion Pictures sweep the ADDYs
Union Station Comes Alive - Quixotic, Bazillion Pictures and BIC Media
Bazillion Pictures won a Gold National ADDY at The American Advertising Federation (AAF) 2015 Award Show earlier this week for its work on the “Monument Comes Alive” project for Union Station in Kansas City. The studio’s team of artists created the 3D animation, motion graphics and visual effects, and crafted the architectural projection mapped video that transformed the iconic building into a giant canvas for its centennial celebration, in a multi-media visual experience that tells the story of Union Station and shows how it adapted and persevered throughout a tumultuous century. Produced by Quixotic, “The Monument Comes Alive” was powered by twelve 20K lumen HD digital projectors that seamlessly mapped the video to the intricate architectural details of the building. Bazillion Pictures also produced a behind-the-Scenes video that follows the making of the project, which itself won a Silver ADDY in the Direct Marketing/Specialty Items category.
