These are some images we're using for our first project.  Last week, we experienced the Palio in Siena. During the days preceding and after the race, we encountered many contradas parading through the streets, often lead by the horse they would count on to win them the Palio.  Walking through the narrow streets, the sound of the contrada's song would signal their approach.  People would stand to the side to watch them.
We recorded one of these marches and then used Adobe Illustrator to create an animation sequence with the still frames from the video.  Final Cut was used to create the video,  and combine it with the audio.  
In a linear setup of 3M projectors, our final video will be displayed on the alley walls of this year's winning contrada, Tortuga (Turtle).
