In 2017 the UFA (most notable for producing films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Metropolis (1927)) celebrated their centennial anniversary as entertainment producers for film and television. In commemoration of this momentous milestone, UFA held several events over the course of the year, culminating to a red carpet VIP gala evening at the Ehrenhalle in Berlin Messe.
The highlight of the show was a cinematic montage film, contextualising and celebrating UFA’s
century-long catalogue. This was projected onto three large canvases and accompanied by a state
of the art kinetic light show.

In the lead up to the event, we were tasked with preparing to recreate this part of the event in
VR as a research and development project. This would include replicating the architecture of the
Ehrenhalle, the kinetic light show, the setup of the sound system, and displaying the montage
video in VR.

Successful recreation of the event would lead us at TRIAD to collaborate with UFA in the creation of the VR Film: "Ein Ganzes Leben".
