1100th anniversary of the adoption of Islam by the Volga Bulgars

The dreamlaser studio created a multimedia projection mapping on the White Mosque in the city of Bolgar to celebrate the 1100th anniversary of the adoption of Islam by the Volga Bulgars.

May 19-21, 2022

It is the most important holiday for the region and for the Muslims of the country. In May, hundreds of people practicing Islam came to Bolgar from all over Russia. They formed the viewers of the dreamlaser's production.

The content was projected onto the building of the White Mosque. Its project began to come to life in 2010 within the program of conservation and development of the cities of Bolgar and Sviyazhsk.

The main task of dreamlaser was to highlight the beauty and grandeur of the mosque's architecture with the help of the visual content. The mosque is located on the open coast and is remote from the other buildings, which gives more freedom to work with the location. The pure, snow-white color of the building allowed us to project the animation with high definition and brightness, thanks to the excellent reflectivity. The hyper-realistic animation brought out the beauty of the building's forms excellently.

It is both a beautiful project and a rather challenging one in terms of production from a historical point of view. When creating the visual concept the team took the cultural particularities into account and consulted with professionals - a historian and an Arabist. The animation sequences are inspired by the traditions of Islam and the local traditional imagery: exquisite patterns, colors, symbols, and writing elements are taken from cultural sources.

When the team created the special visual content for the White Mosque, they benefited from the Notch Builder software, which was used to realize a number of effects.
