Circus Knie / «Meet the Elephants»

For the Swiss National Circus Knie, we produced a 360° film with a big effect. The visitors could visit the pachyderms in the children's zoo Rapperswil virtually.

The Swiss National Circus Knie wanted to take the elephants back on tour. This time for the benefit of the animals but only as a virtual attraction.

The shooting of the film with animals in the leading role can hardly be planned. To make the shots of the elephants look as natural as possible and to prevent the animals from feeling irritated by the cameras, they were hidden in the middle of the herd.

The visitors experience the animals thus lifelike and very closely. In order for the emotional experience on the tour to work for young and old, various points such as theft protection or the hygiene of the VR glasses were clarified and solved beforehand.

The technical innovation travelled along on the big Swiss tour and was in continuous use for numerous visitors in the circus foyer.
