Looks Like Film

National Cable Television Association | Washington DC

Here’s an idea: Let’s make multiple pieces of acrylic look like moving film. Wait a minute. Nobody knows how.

And so, the first thing we had to do for this project was to figure out how to build these very specifically designed, book-matched colored acrylic partitions. So it was a fabrication and an installation challenge. No sense in doing one if you’re not going to do them both, after all.

Nothing was going to work unless they were cut and installed perfectly, so the pattern would read correctly. Through multiple pieces. In a large space.
And look like film.

This was not a typical job. Then again, almost none of them are.
