SquareZero: We start the year with two fantastic awards!

SquareZero have been awarded for their holographic representations of Bjorn, Agnetha, Benny and Frida for ABBA The Museum in Stockholm. We were granted two awards for the Entertainment Experience and Heritage in the categories at the IVCA Livecom Awards 2014. 

We have been working with ABBA The Museum for several years now. The  museum project was one of our most enjoyable hologram projects last year.ABBA The Museum opened its doors to the public on May 7th, 2013 .  Since the opening, the museum has had over 275,000 visitors and has quickly becoming one of Swedens popular tourist attractions.  

In December ABBA The Museum was chosen as one of top 3 destinations in Sweden by international travel agencies at the yearly Swedish Tourist Gala.

The holograms became a show-stopping event, where ABBA fans can come and singalongside the hologram stars.  The performances afterwards are then captured and stored on interactive tickets, which can be accessed by fans after their visits.

The 3D characters were modeled and animated to great detail, using our leading edge in-house facial motion capture for lip-sync and dancing along to ABBAs famous hits. It was pleasure to work with ABBA The Museum and see this project come alive. The whole team is so pleased to start the year with this excellent news.

We are currently working on some new thrilling and immersive holographic experiences, so watch this space.

PRESS RELEASE

SquareZero expands management team with new senior producer

London, England: SquareZero, the award winning digital animation and motion graphics company, today announced the appointment of Natalie Harvey as senior producer.  The new hire follows SquareZero’s recent international success with groundbreaking holograms installed at the ABBA Museum in Stockholm.

In her new role, Harvey will liaise with creative and production teams to oversee project delivery.  She will also work closely with the other members of the senior management team to coordinate and develop new client acquisition across SquareZero’s increasing international client base.

Dave Keegan, managing director at SquareZero, commented: “Natalie’s appointment is a real coup for SquareZero. We are seeing businesses from all sectors and countries around the world realise that they need to be able to communicate their core messages in faster and more memorable ways.  Natalie has the experience and drive to ensure that SquareZero continues to be a market leader in motion graphics, hologram and more traditional 2D and 3D animated offerings.”

Harvey’s appointment comes after notable successes including an iconic music video with a Eurovision starlet, an animated ‘explainer’ video for the next massive social media network to rival Facebook and reuniting the superstars of ABBA through the wildly popular medium of resurrection holograms.

Natalie Harvey was previously a producer at Jelly London, where she developed an in house team of animators alongside working with international director collectives, and some of the world’s biggest brands.  Harvey joins Squarezero from a strong cross media background including a wealth of TV and digital experience.

Keegan continued, “We are at an exciting stage for SquareZero and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome Natalie on board.”
