York Minster
Mather & Co
As part of the Undercroft exhibition ‘Revealing York Minster’ we were commissioned to produce 20 digital experiences for a series of compelling, visually rich, interactive chambers underneath York Minster.
Featuring large-scale wall projections showing a 3D model of the Minster and the architectural changes over hundreds of years, numerous interactive touch-screens, liquid label films, to the finale – a nine meter long 3x projection screen showing three unique films shot over the course of three months showing a Day-in-the-life, the Hidden Minster and a CGI film of the Roman Emperor Constantine.
Evolution
AY-PE created a large-scale wall projection showing a 3D model of York Minster’s evolution from 1100AD. Alongside architectural historians we researched and developed every structural stage – creating a stunning, factual representation of the Minster. Hi-Definition aerial footage was also woven into the CGI – relating present to past.
Minster revealed
Several ‘Working Minster’ films were produced, graded and edited including ‘A Day in the Life’ and the ‘Hidden Minster’. We filmed a range of Minster life including stone masons, cleaners, choir master, contractors and more – absorbing visitors in the Minster’s characters, places and stories.
Exploring the priceless
The York Gospels are one of only a few remaining items from the Anglo-Saxon Minster and contain, as well as the four Gospels, letters and documents form Deans, Canons and Kings. It is a priceless artefact which cannot be touched.
To give the visitor a memorable experience of the York Gospels AY-PE filmed, designed and produced an engaging and informative interactive enabling visitors to swipe through the digital pages of the replicated book and soak in its incredible history.
We worked alongside conservation experts whilst carefully photographing the book – ensuring the correct humidity and light levels were in place to protect the book whilst enabling us to gather the data required to create an accurate interactive experience. Our design, user interface and programming then produced an inviting, beautiful and engaging exploration of the priceless York Gospels.
