Sarwat Watan was an immersive show brought to life in Riyadh for National Day celebrations. The show brought together the earth, sky and water and led its characters on a elemental journey.
FRAY worked with a range of creation tools throughout this project including After Effects, Notch and Unreal, choosing the right tool to create each individual moment. Our depiction of the elements was brought together by a VYV Photon system which allowed us to precisely control projection onto challenging surfaces such as voile fabric, moving scenery and water.
