Hearts of Oak — AV installations

The Historic Dockyard Chatham / Land

  • Chatham Royal docks

    Hearts of Oak is a 30 minute visitor attraction, set in the historical Mould Loft building in Chatham Royal docks. The visitors follow life-sized historical characters as they appear around the various rooms and environments. The actors and accompanying backdrops and graphics are video mapped onto the original building walls and period recreation set works.

  • Twelve video installations were created ranging from single projection units up to eight synced projections within the Mould Loft. Each scene is timed to lead the visitor around the entire show.
