Shadow Show 3D – “Legends of Ice and Fire”
On November 14th, the Shadow show VERBA on its official YouTube channel presented the first production in the shadow show 3D genre!
In general, Verba is the first shadow team in Ukraine who created a symbiosis of these genres and presented it to the public. The premiere of a new 3D shadow show took place on April 16, 2018, in the Chernihiv Drama Theater. However, it took some time to solve shadow and technical difficulties with 3D animation. Staging in the shadow show 3D is technically much more difficult. It is because of the synchronization of various technological methods. The work uses several projectors and 3D animation should be clear and dynamic.
Therefore, only on November 14, the artists shared with the entire planet an original creative experiment, publishing it on the Internet. And Verba managed to combine the art of shadow theater with the capabilities of 3D graphics and visual effects. Even watching the setting on the screens of monitors – you can not miss the volume of the figures.
