As a large-scale square ceremonial performance, the use of lighting is very critical, so how is the lighting of the opening ceremony considered? And what are the characteristics? Let's listen to the interpretation of Sha Xiaolan, the chief lighting designer of the opening ceremony.
Opening ceremony lighting general design Sha Xiaolan: The Winter Olympics will be different from any previous time, before the Beijing Winter Olympics, we used to use projection, with the projection to hit the ground, we did a comparative experiment, because we have some people interacting in our creativity, you can't do these effects, because the projection will have a shadow on people, then we need the actors we perform, including the peace dove performance, that is, do something we call motion capture, then there will be stars where children will walk on the ground , then with projection it will have a shadow, will lead to interactive links are not perfect, etc., many of us include 3D images, this time the floor screen has indeed made a great contribution.
In the past, the traditional projection was projection, so the brightness of the projection was much smaller than the ground screen, and it was easy to balance. Then the LED area of about 10,000 square meters appears on the ground screen, which is actually a huge lamp. How to do a good balance, this is a very exquisite thing, the director repeatedly emphasized that where there are actors and where there is light, where there are no actors, resolutely do not want light. He asked that the picture be very clean, and we did a lot of depictions, including the holy flame in the back, the flame extinguishing link, including the torch entering the scene.
By 2022, we are 100% Chinese products, all domestic equipment to pick up the beams. From the perspective of lighting, all lamps and lanterns are made in China, including all LED products are domestic, and those interactive images are created by Chinese artists.
