Dark Arts approached LucidState to adapt an Etihad campaign for a large three-screen installation, transforming flat campaign material into an anamorphic spatial experience.

01 / The challenge

Design for where people really stand

The rotating-block illusion had to work beyond one perfect camera position. The team needed to account for different sightlines and viewing heights while keeping essential brand information legible from less-than-perfect angles.

02 / The approach

Rebuild the space, then build the illusion

LucidState recreated the display at real-world scale and established a practical viewing zone. The supplied television commercial was projection-mapped across the moving structure, with animation, perspective and transitions tuned to preserve depth across all three screens.
