The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Sochi has become not only bright and colorful event, but also the most technologically advanced in the history. I suggest you see what the effects of the invention and used by the organizers.
Stadium "Fischt" was completely rebuilt, which allowed to place under the dome system carriages for hanging decorations. Taking into account the curvature of the dome stadium, height difference when moving carriages up to several tens of meters. However, thanks to the computer control of the system is achieved by linear motion parallel to the floor all the decorations.
Production of suspension and ground scenery started about 4 months before the opening of the Olympics. This involved a number of countries, including the US, Canada, England, Australia, the Netherlands and Sweden. For example, inflatable hanging statue "Worker and Collective Farm Girl" was made in the Netherlands from a synthetic fabric. Excessive internal pressure to ensure the shape of these sets was provided 7-11 of industrial fans.
In the first part of the presentation, symbolizing industrialization, were involved in 72 moving scenery and 817 actors. Height tractors 4-6 m, length 12 m, weight - about a ton. In the movement of the actuator construction by the actors, each of them had 2-4 people. Total same in the representation involved about 3,000 actors.
One of the most spectacular scenes presentation began a series of flying islands with various landscapes. Their length is 26 meters, the metal frame was covered with foam, and is located within the scenic mechanics. On the islands there were various moving parts (animals), each of which is controlled separately.
Perhaps one of the most technically complex scenery became a huge three horses. Length was 23 m, height of 20 m, weight of 9 tons. Troika was manufactured in Sweden, with because of its enormous size and the need for secrecy, the assembly was held in an underground military base.
A few huge wildlife, appeared at the opening ceremony - Olympic mascots, skating Bear, Bunny skiing and snowboarding leopard. They were built as much in distant Australia. Figures moving on electric cars, each of them ran "crew" of the driver and operator-puppeteer. Animation is provided by a built-in electric motors, and each figure was equipped with multiple cameras to facilitate the work of operators. Breath "animals" simulated air supply from cylinders.
One of the interesting ideas was the involvement of the organizers of the presentation the audience themselves to create a background atmosphere during the show. To do this, each of the 40 000 visitors were given a big "medals", which is hung on his neck. In the medal were embedded LEDs and infrared sensor. At the right time of the dome of the stadium was transferred to the stands infrared signal, according to which "Medal" light of different colors.
However, the main role in the background played a giant projection of different images: maps, photographs, drawings, etc. For example, a map of each member country of the Olympics reached the size of 100h60 m. All this riot of light and color provided 120 powerful projectors.
"Underground" of the stadium has also been used very actively: some scenery climbed the special elevator and ramp to exit athletes and actors opened in just 17 seconds.
Undoubtedly, the main actors performances were not the scenery and people. For example, in the scene "Fair" involved more than 500 people. Synchronized actions of such a large number of participants was achieved thanks to a wireless headset. Also to guide the actors actively apply special markings on the stage.
In a three-minute video, which starred a real "star" the cast, all the scenes were created on the computer. Even a few rowers in the boat, too, were "to finish».
Total for the actors was made more than 3,000 costumes. Also use a lot of props. For example, in the stage of "20th century" character Nikolai Valuev regulates the movement of motorcyclists. For each of the drivers were made support system, taking into account individual anatomical features. By the way, almost all cars in this scene were real, and they ran their own owners.
