MGM, in collaboration with immersive digital-studio CFIRE presents a “Watercolor Story,” a magical 10-minute animated digital experience at the Spectacle.
The “Watercolor Story” was created by CFIRE’s team of artists, digital designers and animators under the oversight of light-space artist Zheng Chongbin, who leads the Artistic Direction for CFIRE. The work evolves over three distinct acts, themed in a bold traditional Chinese ink color, bringing them to life across the 70 million pixels which encompass the Spectacle’s 25 LED displays. Reinforcing the celebration of Chinese New Year and highlighting the deep connection between Macau and China, each act features traditional ink brushed icons from Chinese and Macanese culture such as cranes, fish and sailing ships. They are painted into the scene, and then begin to come to life, flowing gracefully through mountain landscapes and the Macau Harbor. Integrated sound design and music creation were provided by MGM’s team for a more immersive experience.
