As the only New Zealand photographer, Frank is able to provide panoramic images of Aotearoa, befitting special requirement and the technique used for a unique project that has never happened before in the Central European region in the field of panoramic imaging and projection.
The clients are World Panorama Stock (WPS), Special Event, a Budapest based event agency and a multinational credit card company.
Since 1992 every August a week long festival is held on the Shipyard Island (that’s Hajógyári Sziget) on the river Danube in the middle of Budapest.
This is called Sziget Festival, the largest open air musical and cultural festival in Europe.
400 000 visitors coming annually for this event. During the seven days of the festival a large number of world famous bands, cultural events and programs entertain the visitors from all over the world with over 1000 separate performances.
This year at the Sziget Festival is a project called: PLANET
A bell-tent (diameter of the tent: 18 meter) will be put up where a screen of 2 meters high from ground will be installed.
The size of the screen: 55 meters long and 4 meters wide.
This long screen will run around the wall of the tent.
A special projection software will be used to project 360° panoramic pictures on this screen. The goal is to „exhibit” our planet on Sziget festival, to show the various geographies of the globe.
Every day a different exhibition will be presented about each continent and the plan is to go for an international tour with the images.

Panoramic pictures need a lot of space and special technology therefore it is difficult to show them in a regular art gallery. This tent will be a perfect spot to show full panoramic pictures on an exhibition for really large audience.
Based on the specific screen size mentioned above the final 360 degree image size used by the software is extreme narrow and long.
