Cyber Illusions paints Colombo with light

Sri Lanka's National Museum was the venue for a very different type of Vesak Pandol recently.
For three nights, May 6-8, the road frontage of this iconic building was transformed into a canvass on which the journey of Vesak was lovingly and respectfully told for the sake of passers-by, organisers said.
Created by new media studio Cyber Illusions, for client the Ministry of Livestock and Rural Community Development, this Vesak feature was unveiled during the Vesak weekend with much pomp and circumstance for President Mahinda Rajapaksa, amidst peak festival time, and witnessed by throngs of gathered celebrants.

"Using bleeding-edge video mapping technology and visuals via state-of-the-art digital projectors, the imagery of Vesak inhabited the traditional Colonial frame of the National Museum, telling a tale scripted by Award winning filmmaker Vimukthi Jayasundara. While, at the same time, video mapping technology appeared to show this heritage structure twisting, turning and otherwise reacting in the most extraordinary ways. However, this is not the first instance of visual magic revealed in recent times by Cyber Illusion, the new-kid-on-the-block becoming known as the standard in technology-based innovation.

Lead by visual technologist Lalindra Amarasekara and events veteran Imran Saibo, this venture has executed a number of high-technology creative concepts since their mid-2011 launch. From websites to interactive and immersive digital environments, and everything in between, Cyber Illusions prides itself on developing unique, and differing, new media and entertainment solutions for each and every brief, the company statement said.
