Sha Xiaotong: The opening of the Olympic Games will be designed as a painting


â– Personal profile

Sha Xiaotong

The opening and closing ceremonies of the 29th Olympic Games and the general design of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 13th Paralympic Games have served as the general lighting design for large-scale celebrations such as the return of Hong Kong, the return of Macao and the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Duo is a lighting engineer.

After graduating from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, he has been engaged in lighting design on various stages for a long time, and regards design lighting as painting.

On August 8th, at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, when Li Ning vacated and rushed to the torch in the Chinese scroll that was slowly unfolding, the footsteps of glory and dreams made every Chinese feel extremely proud. The warm light on the light illuminates everyone's smiling face. At this time, at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, there was a person who was fidgeting like an ant on a hot pot. He was the chief design of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Sha Xiaotong, recently Sha Xiaoying was a guest teahouse, telling the reader hundreds of sleeplessness. The lighting design of the night tells the perfect embodiment of the Olympic technology light that makes the Chinese people proud at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

63 projectors stitched to record

Sha Xiaolan said: It is very difficult to complete the seamless splicing of the 500-meter ring screen of the bird's nest circumference, because this is not a problem of increasing equipment. After the equipment reaches a certain number, the difficulty is squared.

On the first day of the New Year's Eve, we put the projector up and used three projectors on a screen. At that time, I felt that I hoped to be bigger and able to meet the requirements of the broadcast. Later, the director was very excited after seeing it. Because a group of lights is 21 meters, 21 sets and 63 projectors are needed. How to connect them together can not be seen. In actual operation, they also encounter a particularly large technical difficulty. Many foreign counterparts think that this is impossible. However, in the second and third of this year, we basically completed the technical requirements, and completed the splicing in May. It was because of this scheme that I thought of using this image to determine the ignition scheme. This program provides a prerequisite for Li Ning's final realization of the air ignition ceremony.

High temperature weather, fear that the light will automatically go out

Sha Xiaolan said: Although I have done lighting design for various large-scale performances, I was nervous when I was at the opening ceremony. I told others that I was never so nervous.

Sha Xiaotong recalled that all the lights we used at the opening ceremony had automatic protection. When the temperature reached 45 degrees Celsius, the lights went out. Wait until it is below 45 degrees Celsius before you can turn it back on. On the day of the opening ceremony, in order to ensure that nothing was lost, we turned on the lights at 3 o'clock. At 5 o'clock, everyone waited quietly. It was very hot that day, like a sauna. When the athletes entered the ceremony, the temperature was already high, reaching 40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature was still rising at this time. I was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. I wanted to enter the venue and hurry. At this time, the temperature continues to rise. At the most important ignition moment of the Olympic Games, if one of the lights is off, then when Li Ning is ignited, there will be a screen that is black, so the image of the ignition will be greatly discounted if there are ten lights. It’s black, it’s over, it’s impossible to broadcast. I just turned outside, I didn't dare to say such a serious situation with other directors. At that time, I was in a hurry. Later, our staff said that they would blow with a fan. But how many blows, but fortunately, there was no accident, so I was really relieved when Li Ning was over.

Sha Xiaolan said: Actually, at 6 o'clock that evening, there was a lamp with thermal protection. It was the lamp to be used in Taiji’s program. After the lamp was broken, we decided that the lamp would not be turned on until the show. Open again 5 minutes before the start, so at least 15 minutes. Therefore, one of our staff members was waiting under the lamp until we started the show. We said that it was lit. Later, the Taiji show ended successfully, and we cheered.
