Recently, the "Shining Half Masu River" waterfront light show was officially "beautiful" in the Half Masu River Park in Putuo District, with the theme of "Shining Half Masu River", with a total duration of 1 minute and 52 seconds, starting from 18 o'clock every day, lit up every 20 minutes, and looped until 20 o'clock.
Under the guidance and planning of the Putuo District Bureau of Culture and Tourism, the 2023 "Shining • Banmasu River" waterfront light show is produced by Phantom Digital - the working team uses "light and shadow" as the brush, relying on the roofs of the five buildings of the Banmasu River Station and Changfeng Bay Party and Mass Service Center along the wharf of Changfeng Park, and the chimney of the former site of Shanghai Reagent General Factory in Banmasu River Square for light and shadow linkage, vividly interpreting the colorful life of "Half Masu River • Charming Putuo".
Rich perspectives and diverse display methods attracted citizens and tourists who were originally in a hurry to stop and take out their mobile phones to freeze the wonderful moments of light and shadow. In the comment section, someone wrote, "Geometric elements, books...... The delicate picture and colorful light and shadow make the Suzhou Creek more gorgeous and dynamic at the beginning of the lanterns. ”
Suzhou Creek has 42 kilometers of shoreline, half of which is in Putuo District, Shanghai, which is exactly the length of the half marathon, so Suzhou Creek (Putuo Section) is also known as the "Half Masu River".
The waterfront light show is mainly divided into three theme pictures: "Industrial Civilization", "Ambilight" and "Prosperous Age".
In the 20-second "Industrial Civilization" picture, the laser projects the image of a rotating industrial gear on the chimney, presenting a distinct industrial aesthetic element. At the same time, the roof presents the effect of sparks, echoing the cultural and historical positioning of the Changfeng Bay Party and Mass Service Center.
The painting not only looks back at the profound red culture inherited by Putuo as the birthplace of China's modern national industry and the birthplace of the Shanghai workers' movement under the leadership of the Communist Party, but also artistically reproduces the history and innovative achievements of Suzhou Creek from a modern industrial hotspot to an innovative and livable paradise.
In the second frame, "Ambilight", which is about 40 seconds long, the laser effect is presented in geometric patterns, music, books, etc., while the roof is covered with colorful artistic effects. This is to convey the vitality and charm of the "Half Masu River" with the help of artistic language and symbols, and today's Putuo is flourishing with the help of scientific and technological innovation and cultural creativity.
The theme of the third picture, "Prosperous and Prosperous Times", lasts for 52 seconds - the butterfly flying and traveling thousands of miles painted by laser projection echoes the colorful bloom of the "prosperous fireworks" on the roof, conveying the praise of a better life and expressing expectations and longing for the future.
According to reports, in order to fully implement the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of "one river and one river" in Shanghai, the waterfront light show is a new tour project launched in combination with the Suzhou Creek tourism project, aiming to let more people feel the history, color and vitality of the waterfront jointly built, shared and governed by the people.
In the future, the Phantom Digital team will continue to explore the "integration of culture and technology", focus on the goal of building the Suzhou Creek into a "livable, business-friendly, travel-friendly, and enjoyable" modern life demonstration waterfront, and strive to integrate more contemporary humanistic elements and artistic elements into space design and scene reconstruction, and vividly display the Shanghai plan and urban style of urban renewal.
