To elevate Conner Prairie’s annual Merry Prairie Holiday event, Blockhouse Studios, the elite projection mapping company in the midwest, reimagined the beloved Christmas tale ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, and projected this retelling onto the historic Conner House. The project featured stop motion animation of custom paper cutouts and traditional 2D animation to bring this classic Christmas story to life. Two 15,000 lumen projectors and three 8,000 lumen projectors were situated both outside of the building to project onto the 3d mapped exterior, and inside for rear projecting onto the windows. Crowds returned specifically to rewatch the spectacle outside the Conner House allowing Conner Prairie to exceed their revenue goals for the event.
