Brainstorming
We focused on the ideas of Valletta, the Palace, Christmas and New years (time)
We have a few ideas, such as :
- Creating an entire show of patterns taken form the palace and Maltese inspirations.
- Showing the passage of time from the begging of Valletta till now, using common people and not high society.
- Contra-posing buildings of other countries on top of the palace, focusing on celebration.
- Mapping out Valletta and highlighting special areas.
- A romantic journey of a man going back in time to find his love in the past at a party in the palace.
- Transforming the building bringing the inside outside, with a touch of humor
Ultimately we chose the last idea.

Inspirations
Narrative
Festive Palace
Scene 1
Welcome to the Festive Palace, a place where magical dreams come alive. On one dark cold night in total darkness one can see a flicker of a light, this flicker of light is a man going up a ladder, he is lighting up the lanterns next to the windows one by one with his long rod. Bit by bit one can start to see the building unfold. The shadows can be seen reflected on the building from the lanterns. The palace comes alive; you can also see silhouettes passing by in the windows swiftly. Now the festive palace is in full view coming alive with lines forming all around the palace.
Scene 2
All of a sudden the windows break continuously and are transformed into a tunnel. A tunnel which guides and
swoosh’s down first bringing the first floor into sight which is the ground floor. Poseidon is shown laughing, a close up appears on him and he does not seem to be too pleased, waves of water come out of nowhere and covers the
camera.
Scene 3
The camera zooms out from the palace bringing us to the front, water gushing out from all the windows in the palace.
Where the water trickles out and touches the building it starts forming flooring patterns and the windows form circular patterns appear with shots of grandmasters, they start to move around too. All of a sudden the circles rotate
around with new grandmasters showing up. The circles start to increase with speed more and more and this shatters and cracks the tiles on the building, like some kind of shortage.
Scene 4
The debris fades out. New life appears and the building starts forming into a skeleton, which seems to be out of the
Maltese filigree. The building looks like a cage (this could have some Christmas decorations also shown). The national plant starts growing through the cracks of the filigree and all of a sudden windows open a bird’s fly out to the open. They hold out a ribbon spelling out Merry Christmas. For the New Year celebration the clocks can appear (the ones which are portrayed in the courtyard) the moon moves in front which is on the clock itself and he starts the countdown.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
Constraints
1. Ideally the canvas would be similar to the building’s colour meaning not white
2. Some of the audience might be tall and would interfere with the projection
3. Other non-related lighting such as Christmas decorations in Valletta can cause the projection
to lose some of it's effects and purposes
4. The projector has to be set to the proper height and position
5. No small details included in the projection since they might not be displayed properly
Solutions
1. A beige canvas must be used in order to cover the building
2. Make use of boundaries and barriers / Placing the projectors as high as possible /
Include silhouettes in the projection
3. Switch non-related lighting off (contact local council) / Cover them / Set a timer to the decorations
4. Needs to make use of scaffolding on roof
5. Create large graphics when detail needs to be included
