The Darkroom motion graphics is a boutique visual studio based out of Auckland and London that collaborates on digital art work projects around the world. The majority of their work is “content creation for live video performance and multimedia environment.” Their work is used extensively by commercial clients such as Lancome and Louis Vuitton.

The Darkroom motion graphics studio’s most recent video mapping projection at the Kimberly Mapping Projections Festival in North East England featured giant projections of an Asian temple covered in lanterns, an aquarium, moving hearts, a Grecian acropolis and Pacman projected onto the side of a country mansion. Darkroom founder, Bruce Ferguson and event producer Mike Hodgson put together the spectacular display that opened the show.
