Mental Media produced this three screen video for the Albert Kersten Mining Museum in Broken Hill,
far western New South Wales. I was really taken by producer, David Jellings' ability to give us a history of everything
from the big bang to why there is an abundance of mineral wealth under Broken Hill, in 11 minutes. Watching this again, I marvel at the revolution in video quality since this program was created.
The three screens allow for presentation opportunities that range from a single, very wide landscape
to combinations of single and dual screens. The "Crystal Theatre", pictured (click to enlarge),
is a purpose built presentation "pod" containing the three screens and the
audio equipment themed to fit with the design of the museum.
This project has provided another, yet unfulfilled challenge: to get out to Broken Hill to marvel at it!
