Figment Productions Ltd

Hopetown Darlington - a new rail heritage visitor attraction has officially opened today in Darlington, UK. The visitor feedback and press so far has been fantastic! Figment Productions Ltd, in partnership with project lead consultants PLB Projects (www.plbltd.com), created over 30 multimedia interactives. From immersive soundscapes, family-friendly touchscreens, to character Magic Mirror photo opportunities. Hopetown Darlington delves into the rich history of passenger railways in it's original birthplace nearly 200 years ago. Our favourites? The large-scale 'Made In Darlington' projections of locomotives in the Goods Shed and the Augmented Reality Character APP we created, where visitors can meet historical figures around the Hopetown Darlington site. “The museum is spectacular, there are interactive exhibits as far as the eye can see. There is a train in the centre of the main room, costumes to dress up in, talking marble busts and educational holograms. “ Northern Echo. https://lnkd.in/gD7JNdB7

Last night, we were thrilled to win the 'Best Use of Digital' award at the Museums + Heritage Awards 2024 for our immersive cinematic experience, Dive the Mary Rose 4D.

Well done Team Figment Productions Ltd and The Mary Rose The highly innovative immersive 4D cinema experience, tells the human endeavour story of the search for the Mary Rose on the seabed, and goes on to showcase the excavation and successful raising of the hull in 1982. https://lnkd.in/eABEg5xE

In collaboration with Merlin Magic Making, Figment has brought to life the vibrant world of Roxie Racer and her team captains at the Minifigure Speedway, the world’s first LEGO themed duelling rollercoaster at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort. Figment was asked to produce animations, voiceovers, and interactive content, covering every aspect of the guest's rollercoaster journey. Creating two pre-show queue line films, team selection, ride loading bays and ride exit animations. Through animation, immersive sound design and interactive storytelling this work expanded upon our previous Figment project, 'the Great Lego Race', existing within the same universe.

We are thrilled to announce that in partnership with The Mary Rose our recent immersive cinematic experience Dive the Mary Rose: 4D has been shortlisted for a prestigious Museum & Heritage Award. 'Best Use of Digital'
