Theatre Group announce PMS as 3D animation and AV suppliers

PMS have won a contract to supply Video, Sound and Graphics for Attic Theatre’s production of “Daddy Cool” between the 10th and 14th of June at the Aberdeen Arts Centre.

The Graphics included 3D animation which was relayed to a large white backdrop during the show.  The animation is to be used during a colourful dance sequence. PMS were asked to match the dance scene with their own vivid 3D animation of a serpent god.

This is the second project for Attic Theatre; Pigeon provided Video, Sound and Graphics for their production of “We Will Rock You” in July of last year.  This included pre-recorded footage of scenes which were shot to give the impression of two characters being in different locations simultaneously whilst interacting.  PMS relayed this footage, as well futuristic graphics, to large projection screens at the back of the stage.

Appointment of Creative Director

Pigeon Media Solutions is delighted to announce the appointment of Alexander Hirl as Creative Director.  Alexander comes to the company with a wealth of experience in Documentary film-making, both in his native Germany, France and the UK.

After studying at the University for Music and Visual Arts in Vienna, gaining a BA (Hons.) in Social Anthropology from the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, and a MA Visual Anthropology from the University of Manchester, Alexander has worked in a range of productions in a number of roles in a professional capacity.  He has also directed a number of independent and University projects.

A recent project closer to home was “The Donald and the Dunes”, a work concerning Donald Trump’s proposed Golf Course on the Menie Estate north of Aberdeen, which was aired on Current TV.

Managing Director, Ross Hunter comments:

“This appointment of Alexander Hirl is a great addition to the Pigeon Media Solutions team.  He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience, not only in the broadcast sector, but also has experience across many platforms.  He is adaptable in using a variety of equipment and technologies, which makes him a valued addition to a small team.”

Alexander Hirl added,

“It is inspiring to work on this project with Pigeon Media.  Not only are the guys dedicated to film making and open to experimenting with documentary form; having established a well-equipped and organised production company in their home town, they can offer something invaluable for the development of documentary projects: local knowledge.  I am looking forward to many more creative production days to come !”
