Storytelling Projections and Synchronised Fireworks – Exmouth

On 15th September 2017, an exciting show combining animated storytelling projections and synchronised fireworks unfolded before a crowd of excited Exmouth residents, guests and tourists,  interweaving the stories of the History of the Northwest Cape and Exmouth, local Community and lifestyle, Natural Environment; Ningaloo Reef and Cape Range.

The Town of Exmouth and the Harold E Holt Naval Communication Station were officially opened 50 years ago, on 16 September 1967. Exmouth has seen many changes since then, and one of the biggest and most recent milestones in its relatively short history will be the opening of the new Ningaloo Centre in 2017. Combined, these two occasions have provided a the perfect reason for celebrating the past, present and future of Exmouth and its community.

Illuminart have created and directed the show, collaborating with West Coast Fireworks to incorporate fireworks into key elements of it. Equipment and tech support were provided by Mosaic AV (Adelaide SA) and Signature Music (Karratha WA).  The production was produced and presented by the Shire of Exmouth with input and contributions from many local residents.

Young residents Mim Strom and Riley Watts were voices of the two emus, with other locals providing voices for many other parts. Artwork was contributed by local artist Teressa Miller, and many residents contributed photographs for the flip calendar that appeared throughout the show.

The building used for the projections was the new Ningaloo Centre being officially opened to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Exmouth township.

Illuminart previously worked in Exmouth to project onto the Vlaming Head Lighthouse for its centenary celebrations.
