San Francisco mint painted with 7 HD projectors

Rhett sez, "This is what happens when you point 7 HD projectors on a building for advertising. Make the real world look like a video game."

The old mint in downtown SF painted by 7 perfectly mapped HD projectors. (Thanks, Rhett!)

Love the projection x 3d mapping.
The balls bouncing off the windows look insane.

Here's more of that type of stuff, if you're into it:

The new Mint is mostly used for exterior shots for prison porn movies.

It looks awesome on video. Unfortunately, when you're there, there's usually a lot of ambient light completely drowning out the projectors.
So unless this is being done in a sufficiently dark area, the effect is totally lost.

Still, the video's are amazing and I admire the creativity!

Some of the sections are very reminiscent of the work of artist Pablo Valbuena:

When will someone finally harness this technology to make it appear that giant monsters are destroying a city?
