Garena celebrated the fourth anniversary of its real war mobile game “Free Fire” by partnering with Limelight Projection Mapping and WorldStage for a Guinness Book of World Records occasion at the Tropicana Las Vegas Resort on the evening of August 19. Limelight and WorldStage partnered to create a large video display, which projected across the entire façade of Tropicana’s Club Tower, covered more than 60,000 square feet and featured more than 1. 6 million lumens of light.
“Free Fire” is played on iOS and Android devices in a real war format with players searching on a remote island. The Tropicana Club Tower was chosen for the “Free Fire” birthday party for its giant white palette and surrounding open area. – the best canvas for a magical birthday party.
Limegentle, a collective of artists who have created art with 3-d projection maps and delicate installations around the world for more than a decade, created the content for the event’s big five-minute show. Beloved characters from the “Free Fire” game for an exclusive combination of original 3-d art and 3-d video game design. 3840 x 1800 pixel content delivery solution.
The main exhibition was followed by an exhibition of 8 short artworks made especially for the occasion through Limelight Masterclass artists and internal Limelight artists. The artworks were founded on the theme of “Revival” after the long disruption caused through COVID. -19.
Breath was held in the live game “Free Fire”, as an attempt to set a new world record. This was achieved when Limelight and WorldStage covered 46,733. 65 square feet of the club tower with images of the game, breaking more than double the holder of the past Guinness Book of World Records and creating the largest video game screen ever projected.
“As a collective of artists tasked with creating art on this scale, it was refreshing to collaborate with The professionals at WorldStage, whom we can accept as faithful to execute the technical part,” says Scott Hallock, Director of Operations, North America, Projection Mapping at Limelight. “This was our first big post-COVID project, and it took a lot of other people and a lot of 20-hour days. The wonderful team at WorldStage matched our professional intensity to perform the task and set the record!
The task began with Limelight making a frame of The Club Tower from which a 3-d style was created. “All the illustrations were created in 3-d with an attitude replacement for the audience,” Hallock explains. “We treat the Tropicana as a three-dimensional surface, not a screen. »
Once WorldStage had the main points on the allocation surface, the team began to take on a number of challenges. “The Las Vegas temperature in August was a big concern, as the need for a symbol bright enough to compete with the Strip’s displays and architectural lighting Once the team knew the number of individual frame spaces they wanted to create the overall symbol, we wanted to supply a variety of long-range PJ lens sizes to accommodate the other allocation distances from the most sensitive to the most sensitive. the back of the building,” says Michael Mai, WorldStage’s vice president of account management. “It’s an attractive facet of the task that illustrated the size of the surfaceArray. “
“Our assignment manager, Donovan James, conducted an inspection of the site to determine the proper positions of the allocators, which turned out to be the Tropicana parking lot where we built a traditional scaffolding design to assist 52 UDX 4K32 Ship laser allocators. “Mai explains, “The team worked at night (for apparent reasons) and placed blankets of sun over the allocators during the day to protect them from the heat.
“Las Vegas is a brutal environment in August – it’s a challenge for WorldStage to keep the highlight cool, and we had two days of unforeseen strong winds where it was difficult to keep the blankets in place,” Hallock says.
The WorldStage team calculated that it would take thirteen symbol areas, consisting of 4 projectors each, all mixed, to map the entire look of the club’s tower. “While brightness was first and foremost a big concern,” May notes, “our team’s calculations the number of projectors that were needed was the best and the symbols held up incredibly well with the brightness of the Las Vegas Strip. As you can see from drone shots, the projected content corresponded better to the brightness of the surrounding area. “
“There’s a lot of soft vibe in Las Vegas,” Hallock admits, “but WorldStage has created the brightest projection formula ever created in the United States. “
WorldStage also brought 3 air-conditioned cellular mini-units to house 10 Disguise vx, four media servers and routing to control content, such as a force and a small audio system.
At WorldStage, Donovan James, the assignment manager, Raul Herrera and Dan Block, the apparel operators and programmers, and Tom Roland, the video engineer.
“We knew Limelight could do a task of this extent and scope,” May says, “and the content they created was certainly impressive. Our WorldStage team also did a job; the total procedure was very simple, with no “oh my God” moments.
“I couldn’t have been happier with the way it all went,” Hallock concludes.
