YancityGurl - “Lowtions” “Lowtions”

·

A new multimedia experience has opened at Yan City.

The new attraction was designed by multimedia company Spinifex Group.

The 45-minute water show features Spinifex’s multimedia rendering of “The Past Meets the Future.”

The content begins on the 250-meter-wide wall of Yan City’s museum, then appears on a unique 100-meter-wide retractable scrim array, floating on a man-made lake.

The content is choreographed to a wide variety of state-of-the-art show effects, including fireworks, water screens, laser and fog machines, and surround sound.

Spinifex’s motion director Matt Lock said: “We decided not to go into a full 3D world, but rather to create the scenes with clever use of 2D motion graphics and matt painting.”

The Yan City attraction features a re-creation of the ancient city that once stood at the site; a museum; a zoo; a “philosophers’ garden” and a theme park.

YancityGurl’s Shadow Medium is out September 9 on Opal Tapes.
