During the New Year holidays,Channel One broadcast a TV musical special based on Russian fairy tales, “Lukomorye Condominium”, featuring artists such as Dmitry Malikov, Anna Asti, singer Polnalyubvi, and others, with Sofya Ernst as the creative producer. dreamlaser was responsible for the multimedia visual effects on set, helping to create a magical atmosphere for the unusual condominium inhabited by folklore characters.
The project utilized Christie M4K25 RGB pure laser 25000 ANSI lm multimedia projectors and KVANT RGB SPECTRUM 25W laser projectors. The setup was mobile and transformed depending on the specific scene and plot. Therefore, an important task for the team was to find the optimal placement of equipment and possible ways to use it. The specifics of working on a television project also meant that the effects could look significantly different in the frame than in reality. Therefore, the team needed to be prepared to quickly find suitable solutions and adjust on the spot, depending on how the effects looked through the television optics. This type of project required attention and an understanding of the tasks and functionality of the equipment from the engineers since the work was carried out without prior programming and scripting.
"In many ways, working on this show was an experiment for us. We were tasked with creating caustics using improvised means. We worked with objects such as crystal dishes, chandeliers, artificial snow, and soap bubbles. The show also used generative effects that we programmed in real-time for various scenes,” said project manager Kristina Shikina.
