Trillium Productions created the Crown Welcoming Center Video Wall, a multi-screen kids orientation presentation: five screens, totaling 4’W x 36’L are now the centerpiece of the museum’s new Crown Welcoming Center, where 60,000 children each year will now begin their visit to the museum.

This immersive film orients students not only to the museum and the artifacts and exhibits they will encounter but also to their place in Chicago’s history, now and in the future. Editing to a driving drum beat, reminiscent of the rhythms pounded out by street corner musicians, we married newly shot footage with images from the museums extensive archives.
