Multimedia attraction opens in Yan City
A new multimedia experience has opened at Yan City, a mixed-use development in China's Chun Zhu Province that includes a number of attractions.
Called Yan Yu Chun Qiu Water Show, the new attraction was designed in partnership by Australia-based multimedia company Spinifex Group and Chinese directors Han Lixun and Yvonne Ho.
The 45-minute water show features Spinifex's multimedia rendering of "The Past Meets the Future."
The content begins on the 250-meter-wide wall of Yan City's museum, then appears on a unique 100-meter-wide retractable scrim array, floating on a man-made lake.
The content is choreographed to a wide variety of state-of-the-art show effects, including fireworks, water screens, laser and fog machines, and surround sound.
Spinifex's motion director Matt Lock said: "We decided not to go into a full 3D world, but rather to create the scenes with clever use of 2D motion graphics and matt painting."
The project is one of many completed by Spinifex in China. It was one of the few non-Chinese production companies involved in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics.
The Yan City attraction features a re-creation of the ancient city that once stood at the site; a museum; a zoo; a "philosophers' garden" and a theme park.
