The orchestra! The drummers! The musical score!

Winners played for 1 night at the Concert Hall, QPAC as part of the Brisbane festival. Created by Fabrica, it brought together musicians from locations around the globe, with the Queensland Orchestra and the Mighty Taikoz. Documentry style video was composited onto various screens.

Winners was an ambitious project that was well worth seeing. For the most part it was successful, however some of the video content was weak (terminally ill patients), whilst some of it was very strong ( Maralinga victims). Interesting camera angles, and concept link ups with Berlin, New York and Sharpeville were explorative and enjoyable.

Technical details were not completely finetuned, eg. synching of the projectors was out - meaning jittery moving images. But this can be forgiven as the whole project was an amazing technical feat.

Great to see some projects out there really pushing technology in interestuing directions.
