How to Train Your Dragon - Live Projections from Matt Lock on Vimeo.Dragons! They’re pretty exciting fantasy animals. They can shoot fire out of their mouths which makes them super cool, and then just to further show how badass they are, they can fly. No wonder they’ve been a staple of the geek diet for years.And whether you’re digging them in Game of Thrones or How To Train Your Dragon, they’re always worthy of our attention. I reckon they could kick a unicorn’s butt too. But legendary creature death matches aside, How To Train Your Dragon was turned into a live theatrical show earlier this year courtesy of Dreamworks and Global Creatures. In the show, these fantastical beasts are brought to life using animatronics, while the sets, instead of physical, are live projections created by the Spinifex Group. Using the flat surfaces of the stage floor and back wall, they manage to create dynamic, immersive animations that look just as thrilling as a building coming to life.
