A Case Study

Unconquerable

Motions & Sound Design by Heather Crank

The Big
Deal

We were commissioned by Ivar Zeile, founder of Denver Digerati, in collaboration with Night Lights Denver, to create an animation that was projection mapped onto the clock tower in downtown Denver, Co., as part of a curated collection by Denver Digerati as part of the 5th annual Supernova Digital Animation Festival "World on Fire." The timeline of this project correlated with the BLM demonstrations. We saw this moment as an opportunity to join in the conversation, advocating and acknowledging the rights of those whose voices needed to be heard. We divided the "Unconquerable" animation into four sections; Patterns of Behavior, Torment, Broken Hearts, and We Rise (we loosely referenced language from the poem “Invictus” by WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY).


The Big Results
Hundreds of people walked by "Unconquerable" the week it was on display, and many more witnessed our work from the freeway and nearby building...we hope that in our small way, we added hope and support to those that, at the moment, felt invisible.
