Project Overview
Great Hunger Media Wall
Animated vignettes bring archival illustrations to life, telling the story of what really happened during the Great Famine.
Working with Ireland’s Great Hunger Museum, Second Story created a large-format motion graphics animation that highlights how the story of the Great Famine was told through newspaper illustrations. The 11-foot media wall immerses visitors in these period illustrations, and combines them with eyewitness accounts.
This project required frame-accurate creation and syncing of media across nine separate HD media players and displays. The animation was created at an ultra-HD resolution of 5760x3240. The final 10-minute presentation loops seamlessly, and acts as a visual beacon on the Museum’s second floor.
