makes an oversize fully articulated robot arm
The
theme of Corus Chess the last two years has been a robot
arm. This is an attempt to change the dusty image of the
tournament.
Art Director Erik Rikkelman had
already decided on the theme of the production when he came
to us. Our job was to facilitate the images he needed.
Within the brief we were given a large degree of freedom
with the robot arm. We provided a mechanical arm at 200%
and as a consequence of this we had to make silver chess
pieces at 200%.
Photographs of the arm were used as decor
in the huge players hall as well as on the posters for the
competition. |
