I collaborated with content developers and paleo illustrator, Greer Stothers to create before and after landscapes of the Permian and Triassic period. I also worked with motion designer, Warren Rudd to design and animate volcanoes, climate change, food web, and ocean scenes based off Greer’s landscape illustrations. Music composer, Josh Beck created an atmospheric soundscape including insects, lava, heatwaves, and coal burning to bring the animations to life. In the exhibit space I worked with our AV team to create hot / cool lighting synchronized with the animations. The immersive multimedia installation allow visitors to see the impact of one of the most devastating mass extinctions in a visual way.
