Christie projectors light up Yellow River tower
Thirty-two Christie 1DLP and 3DLP laser projectors have been deployed in a projection mapping light show at a watchtower by the Yellow River to promote local cultural tourism in China.
A watchtower that overlooks China’s second-longest river – the Yellow River – has been magnificently lit by Christie laser projectors for a light show aimed at promoting Yellow River culture and boosting the local cultural tourism industry.
Located in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, the 90-metre-high Yellow River Tower is the centrepiece of a night-time extravaganza entitled “The Great Lanzhou”, which made its official debut on 29 September ahead of China’s 71st National Day celebrations. The outdoor show features 3D projection mapping, stage lighting, lasers, atmospheric effects, and live performances to tell the story of the Yellow River basin – the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and the most prosperous region in early Chinese history.
Projection is accomplished by Christie’s newly-appointed distributor Zhongqing Yingye Group using 32 Christie 1DLP and 3DLP laser projectors comprising DWU2022-HS and Crimson WU31 models featuring Christie BoldColor Technology, which offers enhanced colour performance and saturation. They are strategically installed to deliver bright and colourful visuals on the Yellow River Tower’s eastern face, as well as the grand stairway and podium in front of it.
A spokesperson for Zhongqing Yingye Group said: “We are proud to be involved in this landmark 3D projection mapping light show that highlights the history, culture and development of the Yellow River and Lanzhou. Christie’s high-brightness HS Series and Crimson Series laser projectors, known for their long-lasting solid-state illumination in a rugged and compact chassis, are our top choices for this project. Equipped with powerful and easy to use features, they are well suited for demanding, large venue events and applications.”
The elaborate light-up ceremony, attended by Lanzhou City government officials and other VIPs, included an engaging storytelling sequence complemented by a slew of brilliant, lifelike projections that provided an artistic and strong visual impact.
