Sha Xiaotong: The opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games and the chief designer of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games. The Oriental Song and Dance Troupe's first-class dance lighting design has served more than 1,000 large-scale party lighting design. “The Bird's Nest provides the innate condition of the projection, which is a good performance platform.â€
Whether it is the opening ceremony or the upcoming closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games in September, the audience will find that the lights are magical and superb.
Sha Xiaotong is the chief designer of lighting magic.
In the four performances, the lights were completely different, and the design was almost completed at the same time. Among them, except for the opening ceremony, which had relatively sufficient time for on-the-spot exercises, the other three games, especially the closing ceremony, had neither place nor time to rehearse. Therefore, Sha Xiaolan can only make the transformation and control ability of the magician. In his mind, the lights of the four performances are clearly divided into four worlds. Each piece has its own personality, style and technique. often
The upcoming closing ceremony, the lighting design is completely separated from the opening ceremony. The audience is filled with a cheerful and pleasant atmosphere, reflecting a strong emotion of reluctance and lingering, and it is a farewell feeling.
As for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Paralympic Games, Sha Xiaolan said that more needs to be demonstrated is the indomitable will and beautiful ideals. The role of lighting is the beauty of the scenery, the will of the will and the strengthening of the spirit.
As early as two years ago, Sha Xiaotong considered how the lighting can be different from the previous Olympic Games and can make a breakthrough. Foreign square performances usually ignore the scene, and TV broadcasts are the standard. However, the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games require a balance of scenes. There is a big contradiction between the on-site lighting and the broadcast lighting. The main difference is that the light ratio is different, and the TV requires a small light ratio. The light ratio is high. In order to overcome this contradiction, Sha Xiaotong worked hard, designing and experimenting again and again, trying to balance the lighting effects of both sides.
The technology content and scale of the opening and closing ceremony lighting design of the Olympic Games exceeded the previous Olympic Games. The large-scale digital projector multi-machine overlap and multi-group image fusion splicing technology, the number of devices, high technical requirements, large projection area, has been the world's best. Sha Xiaolan said that it was the "Bird's Nest" that provided them with the innate conditions of projection. "This is a very good performance platform. There is something different from any stadium in the world. It is a 'bowl side', similar to a sky, 14 meters high and 500 meters long. If there is light or image in this circle, It will be very shocking, like a movie in a movie theater. This is also suitable for the general director to play his strengths.†“Bird’s Nest†is equipped with nearly 3,000 computer lights, which fully and stereoscopically meet the lighting art lighting. The need for artistic styling. In particular, more than 140 high-power digital projection devices have been used to make moving images and video images appear flexibly in performance areas, large props and stadium structures along the façade, creating a “multi-dimensional†effect of lighting.
For four events, Sha Xiaotong organized more than a dozen teams, about 220 people. What makes Sha Xiaoxin happy is that each of their designs is passed once and all parties are satisfied. Although the required lighting equipment far exceeds the previous Olympic Games, the cost is much lower than many. Sha Xiaolan said that this is a contribution from suppliers. The various rental equipment they provided for the Olympic Games never bargained and did not seek to make money. Each time they were limited to the budget of the Olympic Games, they also specialized in importing all kinds of facilities needed for the Olympic Games.
The lighting work is very hard. There are Chinese people in the lighting design, as well as foreigners. Everyone often works overnight and sleeps during the day. They can only eat two meals a day. Sha Xiaotong is most satisfied with this team. There is no need to mobilize. The spirit of responsibility and hard work are spontaneous. The lighting staff was installed in the sun for more than two months, and after the synthesis, more than 100 nights were continuously smashed, without a complaint. Among them, the hardest is those who work in the "Bird's Nest" mezzanine, 14-meter-high membrane structure, which is like a sauna, but they still insist.
"I am proud of having such a team. 1 Sha Xiaotong said excitedly.
