Lighting Design

Light effects return to the essence, to create a song mood as a priority

In terms of lighting design, the concept of“people-oriented” is embodied, and the performers are highlighted while depicting the details of the stage lighting and shadows. In order to prevent the lighting effect from being overwhelming, the designer used a 1200-meter programmable control strip on the three sets of symmetrical C-shapes on both sides of the public jury seat and the top of the sky. The stage background is equipped with a 1000 square ice screen, and a large number of screen flashes,beam lights, etc. are hidden behind the ice screen with strong perspective.This not only enriches the single stage, but also plays the role of splitting the big screen and making the visual picture more full.

“Everyone’s music is actually different.”The director group set different musical powers and original colors for eachartist. In programming, the lighting is required to highlight the original color of the character and the mood of the song. Multi-level to show the lighting effects.

Sound design

Overcome the limitations of the venue,carefully debug the ultimate sound

The limitation of the recording venue of this program is relatively large, and the venue can't hoist the audio equipment, which is equivalent to playing a concert on the ground. This is a huge challenge for the audio design team. The director group also requested that the visual display of the 1000-square-large screen in front of the camera must be perfect. This requires the audio reduction device to change the original design to achieve the effect. The audio design will modulate the spacing between the original speakers to 16 meters. 23 meters, after the sound field is finished,the sound designer does not satisfy the existing effect, and repeatedly disassembles, adjusts the sound position, listens carefully to each music change in the sound field, and each nuance, debugs, and finally presents a satisfactory effect.

Guide design

3-day design 200-page split script,ingeniously telling the stage story

"I am a singer" lens uses a continuous lens, using the lens language to narrative, expressing the different emotions and moods of the singer. It is not the fast-cut form lens that is used in most of the variety shows, so as to avoid giving too much splitting talent to the audience.

Three days before the recording, the director produced more than 200 pages of scripts. The director group, the dance design, the lighting design, the visual design team and other teams met to study how each lens was implemented, and each picture was presented in front of the camera. The effect is the ultimate.
