The Venetian Light Show

Macau, China

The Venetian Light Show was developed for The Venetian Macao Luxury Hotel and Casino Resort in Macau, China. The resort is the second-largest casino in the world and the largest single-structure hotel in Asia. Located in Macau’s premier tourist and entertainment hub, the Cotai Strip, the hotel plays host to numerous special events throughout the year.

Engaged by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation (LVSC), Laservision set out to design and implement a large-scale, projection-mapping, special event. Hence, transforming the facades of the iconic Venetian Hotel into a digital canvas.

Loved by the public and very well received by the client, LSVC commissioned Laservision to produce a further nine shows. The additional shows catered for The Venetian’s special event requirements throughout the year. Some of these productions included ‘Winter in Venice’, ‘Seasons of Prosperity’, ‘The Magical Masks of Venezia’ and the New Year’s Eve Countdown.

Since its inception over 2,000 shows have been triggered with 100% success, delighting audiences with an immersive spectacular.

Winter in Venice

Marking the beginning of the festive season, Laservision launched The Venetian Macao’s, ‘Winter in Venice’ event. The event featured one of the world’s largest architectural 3D light and sound shows titled, ‘The Magic of the Seasons’.

The Venetian Light Show, ‘The Magic of the Seasons’ takes audiences on a journey through the four seasons. The show evokes the joy and wonder of summer, autumn, winter and spring. The themes are brought to life through stunning imagery, an orchestral soundscore and an array of special effects.

Seasons of Prosperity

The Venetian Light Show, ‘Seasons of Prosperity’ was launched to mark the start of the festive holiday season. Additionally, the show heralded in the Year of the Horse.

Crowds amassed at the resort’s expansive outdoor lagoon area, transformed in keeping with the equine theme. Adding to the theme, the precinct featured 18 fibreglass horses uniquely hand-decorated by local Macau artists. A beautiful carousel, a traditional Chinese archway and a gigantic 40-foot-high peach blossom tree also enchanted visitors. Further festivities included game booths featuring fortune telling, lucky draws, banner calligraphy and an ice skating rink.

The Magical Masks of Venezia

‘The Magical Masks of Venezia’ sound and light show transports audiences into a magical, mystical and colourful world. The historical Venetian Carnevale, with origins dating back to the 12th century, is the inspiration for the theme that permeates through this show.

Audiences are taken on a magical journey of a couple who discover the magic of life through the Venetian Carnevale. The couple’s shared experiences of the wonder, mystery and magic are accompanied by a Renaissance-inspired sound score.

TECHNICAL

Engaged by the leading developer and operator of integrated resorts in Macau, Laservision projected over half a million lumens of light power onto The Venetian’s vast facade. The show combines large-scale 3D video mapping technologies with special effects and an original sound score.

The complexities of the building’s architecture, limited projection locations, ambient light levels and reliable alignment of the projectors across the 4,000 square metre facade provided multiple technical challenges. However, the Laservision team consisting of 35 crew members from six countries, triumphantly produced one of the world’s largest architectural 3D video mapping sound and light shows.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Implementing one of the world’s largest architectural 3D video mapping projects required a unique technical solution. For The Venetian Light Show to achieve this, Laservision’s Research and Development department worked closely with equipment manufacturers. Subsequently, developing a customised engineering solution capable of withstanding the extreme weather experienced in Macau. From tropical humid environments to typhoons, the technical design provided a reliable, repeatable and reprogrammable video mapping solution all year round.
