Water curtain movie

Water curtain movieTechnology is a beam of light shining on the water surface, showcasing strong effects.3D movieA multimedia technology.Water curtain movieIt originated in the late 1980s, but it only appeared in large cities in countries like France and Japan in its early days. Due to the unparalleled optical effects of water curtain movies, the colors are fresh and vivid, and the subtitles are clear when the movie is played.

 

Introduction

EditWater curtain movies are created using high-pressurewater pumpsand special water curtain generators to spray water upwards at high speed, forming a fan-shaped 'screen' after atomization.

Specialprojectorsproject specially made video tapes onto the 'screen', creating a water curtain movie. When the audience watches the movie, the fan-shaped water curtain merges with the natural night sky, and when characters enter and exit the scene, it seems as if they are soaring into the sky or descending from the heavens, creating a sense of ethereality and dreaminess that captivates viewers. The water curtain movie projector consists of mechanical devices, control brackets, communication ports, software, time signal interfaces, andDMX512interfaces. The engine of this projector is controlled by optical sensors, with high precision. There are three control methods: programming control, direct control, and utility program control. The water curtain can reach over 20 meters high and 30-50 meters wide, and various VCD discs or water curtain-specific films can be played on the water curtain. The film and television effects are unique and novel, making it an excellent advertising tool, and water curtain movies can be installed in various squares and spacious water surfaces.

The water curtain usually reaches over 20 meters high and 30-60 meters wide. The images displayed during the water curtain movie have a strong sense of three-dimensionality and spatiality, making characters appear to soar into the sky or descend from above, merging with the natural night sky, creating a sense of ethereality and dreaminess. Coupled with laser patterns, the scene becomes even more grand and imposing. Water curtain movies are suitable for major holiday gatherings, large squares,theme parksvenues.

Specific introduction

Advantages

1,Huge images: Generally, small water curtains are about 10 meters in length and width, covering an area of about 100 square meters; large lake water curtains can exceed 150 meters in length and reach over 30 meters in height, with a nighttime viewing effect that is more prominent than the city's landmark buildings. This water curtain can also be adapted to local conditions, such as using local waterfalls and other facilities. The super-large feature of the water curtain is unmatched by other technologies.

2,Diverse forms: There are relatively simple ones using flat water surfaces, rectangular vertical planes, irregular vertical planes, and even 360-degree circular three-dimensional ones. In early 2011, a circular water curtain movie was officially released at Hong Kong'sOcean Park.3,

Stunning visual impact: With powerful sound effects and ever-changing laser beams, it creates a mirage-like scene, allowing nearby audiences to experience a mysterious and fantastical wonderland.4,

Wide audience base: It can be viewed up close or from a distance. Of course, the viewing angle will affect the experience significantly; for example, watching from the lakeside, from nearby tall buildings, from afar, or via aerial photography, there are always free ways to watch a water curtain movie.Disadvantages

High costs

1,: Small vertical water curtains may have the lowest costs, but their imaging range is too small to be meaningful. The largest fixed water curtain landscape movie in Singapore reportedly cost over 130 million Singapore dollars; medium-sized water curtain landscapes held periodically in the country generally cost over 20 million yuan; large, single, laser-effect water curtain performances reportedly also cost over 10 million yuan. The electricity, water, venue, and personnel costs during operation are like burning money, and the maintenance costs are very high.Site limitations

2,: It can only be held in very open outdoor areas, such as water pools, lakes, riverbanks, or seaside areas that can provide excellent water supply anddrainage systems.排水系统Time limitations

Stunning visual impact: Seasons and climate have a significant impact. Winter in the north is definitely not suitable; generally, summer is chosen, or locations in tropical regions, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, etc., can perform year-round. Some weather changes can also have unpredictable effects on water curtain movies, such as heavy rain, fog, strong winds, thunderstorms, hail, etc.Technical limitations

Wide audience base: Many hardware devices need to be imported, and there are many technical restrictions. For example, with three-dimensional flat water curtains, the power of the ultra-high-pressure water pump limits the height of the spray from bottom to top; the large images require high brightness for largeprojectors.Ultra-long and ultra-wide images, stitching and merging technologies, etc.5,

Rough image quality: Due to the size, low light brightness, and uneven water medium, water curtains generally only show macro scenes without demanding detail. Simply put, it’s enough to see the image; there’s no need to be picky about color, clarity, or delicacy.Basic requirements

1. Water curtain movies should be set up near water resources, such as rivers, lakes, artificial ponds, or large water bodies.

Edit

2. Water curtain movies should be held in places with little wind, preferably outdoors or at night, in areas with low wind.

2. 水幕电影应该是风起的地方少在户外或在夜间，在风不大的地方。

3. The water curtain generator should have a high water head, low flow rate, and even spray mist, allowing more water to be in a fan-shaped area, capable of withstanding level 3 winds.

Types of Water Curtains

Edit

1,Water Curtain TypeRelatively speaking, the investment is smaller and maintenance is easier, but the downside is that the area is small and the effect is poor. It is used for small performances and small advertising events.

2,Large Water CurtainGenerally, when we talk about water curtains, we refer to this type, which has a large scene and many viewers. It uses high-pressure water pumps and specially designed nozzles to spray water upwards at high speed, atomizing the water to form a water film "screen" in the air. Laser animations and movies are projected onto this atomized screen. The advantage is the largest scene, but the investment is astonishing, and the maintenance cost is high. It is usually for temporary performances, with few fixed installations. Since the screen is a transparent water film, there is a special optical perspective effect during image playback, presenting a three-dimensional feel that is close to a holographic effect, giving the audience a strong sense of immersion.

Stunning visual impactWater Surface TypeGenerally, it is directly projected onto the surface of a lake, pool, or one side of a glass wall filled with water. The advantage is that the effect is relatively good, but the downside is that the venue is too special, and the audience is relatively small.

Impact

Edit

In every developed country in the world, water curtain movies are a symbol of the city center. InBurj Khalifanext to themusical fountain, it has become a new artistic holy place in Dubai with its stunning height. In Singapore'sMarina Bay, the beautiful water curtain movies attract countless tourists from home and abroad every night. The latest work "World of Color" from Disneyland in California, USA, creates a fairy-tale magical world using people, light, and water. There are also world-famous water curtain images in places like Wynn Macau and Las Vegas, reflecting unparalleled light and shadow of the era in world-class cities.
