CENTURY COLOUR 2500LL LIGHT UP THE BIRD'S NEST, OLYMPIC GAMES,
BEIJING 2008
Overwhelmed with great excitement, several
billions of people in the world exclaimed at the splendor of the
lighting effects in the Bird's Nest – Beijing National Stadium,
where the opening ceremony of Beijing 29th Olympic Games was
initiated at 8:00 PM on 8-8-2008 and ended on 8-24-2008. In the
grand Olympic occasions, excellent lighting fixtures of more
than 200 units of Century Colour 2500L
http://articulight.com/acc/CENTURY_COLOUR2500L/index.html were
among chosen to light up of the opening/closing ceremonies both
of the 29th Olympic Games and Paralympics Games in Beijing.
The stage performance full of remarkable
cultural atmosphere in the Bird's Nest conveyed to the world the
essence of Chinese culture and spirits. The opening ceremony
ended but the interpretations by the Chinese on Olympic Games
are still echoing in the minds of the world's people. In the
opening ceremony, the whole Bird's Nest saturated with colorful
lighting looked like a resplendent pearl, rendering abundant
enjoyments of splendid lights and high-tech vision effects to
the world.
The night view lighting effects of the Nest are designed
for 5 sections. The main effects focus on the traditional
Chinese RED. The lighting system can display different dynamic
scenes with colors of Gold, Silver and Red and dynamic
performance of red color. In fact, all the lightings played such
an important role that they have set up a new lighting record in
the world and made the opening ceremony of Beijing Games surpass
those of the previous Olympic Games either in high-tech
applications or in quantity of lighting fixtures. Large quantity
of computerized lighting fixtures updated in the world were
applied for the opening ceremony to meet the needs of
performance ideas and suit the structures of the Nest. The
splendor of the Nest and the standard lighting for the venues
are outcomes of high-tech and professional innovations as the
lighting fixtures are required to be designed and manufactured
to the idea of GREEN OLYMPICS integrating elite functions,
environment protection, energy saving with art performance,
which was a sever challenge to the lighting manufacturers.
Century Colour 2500L wash lights were used for
the opening/closing ceremonies of the 29th Olympic Games and
Paralympic Games in Beijing. Hundreds of wash lights were used
independently for magnificent lighting effects to all the vast
top structure section of the Bird's Nest.
After the opening ceremony in the Bird's Nest,
people of all countries were overwhelmed by the splendid and
magnificent scenes of Bird's Nest saturated with so wonderful
lighting effects. Chinese and foreign Lighting experts are all
shocked by the lighting effects interpreted with PR brand wash
lights of unique stability. In the process of nearly 3 months of
rehearsals and commissioning for the opening/closing
ceremonies, CENTURY COLOUR 2500LL wash lights won high praises
from the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and committee of
ceremonies for their stable performance and superior quality. In
deed, CENTURY COLOUR 2500LL wash lights rendered great
contributions to the successful opening ceremony. In the
critical eyes of the General Director of Ceremony, Mr Zhang
Yimou, the lighting is most colorful, giving out striking vision
impacts to the audience. The chief lighting designer of ceremony
Mr Sha Xiaolan comments: "Even earlier in the Beijing night show
of One-Year Countdown Ceremony of Beijing 2008 Games, I was
deeply impressed by the excellent performance of CENTURY COLOUR
2500LL."
