Cornelis Lelys dream

Medium:
High Definition multimediatheater with special effects

Client:
New Land Inheritance centre (Nieuw Land Erfgoedcentrum), Lelystad

Communication goal:
The substance of living safely on new land beneath sea-level, as a result of the vision and the effort of many people, but especially of Cornelis Lely: to provide this insight... to let it feel... that's the goal.

Result:
It's the year 1916. During a ten minutes taking interview Cornelis Lely explains his vision on building the 'Afsluitdijk' and the reclamation of the 'Zuiderzee' on a profound but also down-to-earth way. Forty visitors see, hear, feel and experience the daring exploit that has taken place, thanks to the persistency of, among others, Cornelis Lely. The presentation has been realised by combining cinematic pictures (recorded on high definition video), on high resolution scanned historical film scenes, computer animation and several special effects in the theatre into an epic on one of the most important projects realized in the recent Dutch history.
