Animation

Created a 30 mins full animated show for RWS VIPs’ annual Chinese New Year Gala Dinner. Visuals are integrated for all the live performances on stage, making the whole experience immersive and interactive.

We 'transformed' the whole 6,000 sqm RWS’ ballroom into multiple thematic visual dimensions, from a futuristic and whimsical Utopia filled with floating crystals and rainbow mountains, to an enchanted forest in bloom inhabited by cute and joy-triggering rats.

Visuals are displayed on the 270 degree screens which surrounds the ballroom creating an immersive experience
