Production Technology: 3D carving foam sculpture technology and traditional Chinese wooden mortise and tenon construction were widely used in this project
The scene design of the fantasy wonderland needs to show the palace on the clouds, the dynamic of the Loong rising into the sky, the phoenix spreading its wings, all of which need to be carried out using 3D carving technology, for the shaping of dynamic scenes, we pre produced computer models for effect display and production reference, and performed partial proofing.Chinese scenes, buildings also need to be used to present a majestic palace feel.We made extensive use of cornices in ancient buildings to create a top of ten thousand palaces. The main stage is as long as 48 meters, the scene is very shocking. Combined with the process, fantasy style special effects videos were produced for each link.Constantly changing scenes.
Design Challenge: 1The biggest challenge is to complete the construction within a very limited time. This is an almost impossible task.

We did the utmost sequential space planning and scheduling to successfully complete it
