The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious art museums in the country. They opened a new permanent exhibition, featuring hundreds of objects from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. I directed and designed a 6 min silent film to help viewers appreciate the context and introduce the exhibit.
︎
The film covered 400 years of European history, explaining how religion, politics, and global trade effected the art and culture of the time.
It was filled with information, dates, portaits, relationship diagrams, and oh-so-many custom 3D maps, based on historical records.
