On the evening of February 2, the opening match of the Beijing Winter Olympics - mixed doubles curling competition was launched in the "Ice Cube" of the National Aquatics Center, and the "atmosphere group" on the field also made its debut in the competition.
The fusion of East and West showcases curling culture
On the evening of February 2, before the official opening of the first round of mixed doubles curling competitions at the Winter Olympics, the Sports Demonstration Team of the Winter Olympics demonstrated the cultural connotation of curling in a unique way that integrates East and West. Curling originated in Scotland, so Scottish bagpipe playing is a pre-competition tradition in curling competitions. 6 musicians dressed in traditional Scottish costumes walked into the arena, 4 played bagpipes, 1 sounded the snare drum, 1 beat the big drum, and played a melodious "Scottish Warrior" in ensemble, as if to bring the audience to the birthplace of the curling project, pushing the atmosphere of the arena to a climax. Subsequently, accompanied by the traditional Scottish bagpipes and snare drums, the DJ on the scene of the competition introduced the participating teams, and the athletes began to compete in the first official competition of the Winter Olympics.
On the first day of the competition, on the second day of the Chinese New Year, the on-site DJ specially selected the traditional Chinese music "Golden Snake Dance" and "Spring Festival Overture", using musical language to tell the story of when the Winter Olympics meet the Chinese New Year, and send New Year wishes to the audience and athletes.
Naked-eye 3D shows the most dazzling ice surface
After the countdown to the opening, a "Xiaoice pot" floats down from the Chinese folding fan painting environment, passes through the beautiful painting of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum representing traditional Chinese culture and noble morality, and floats into the "Nian Youyu" pond. Moonlight in the air floats through the pond, and the water ice transforms wonderfully to form a curling track. After experiencing the baptism of ice and snow, the "Xiaoice Pot" transformed into an Olympic curling pot, sliding all the way to the end of victory, and finally transforming into snowflake particles to bloom to form the Olympic Rings.
This is the first large-scale use of ice projection technology in the history of the Winter Olympics. The curling projection team combined the characteristics of the competition project and the traditional Chinese cultural elements, integrated digital technology, adopted the design method of "dual screen linkage", so that the east side of the large screen and the four track screens on the field echoed, so that the 3D projection was more spatial and interactive, creating the most dazzling ice surface stereoscopic projection, staged the Winter Olympic Ice Stereoscopic Art Performance, and demonstrated the new height of China's digital imaging technology.
