3D mapping in motion for the new Isla Mágica lake show produced by GPD

The Isla Mágica theme park (Sevilla) has inaugurated a new show on the lake that uses 3D mapping techniques and special visual effects on a mobile element, a boat, produced by General Productions and Design (GPD).

With the title “Indigenous against aliens”, The Sevillian theme park Isla Mágica has inaugurated its summer season with this show on the lake produced by GPD with 3D mapping techniques and high-impact visual special effects.

The novelty of this show is the incorporation of this type of three-dimensional projection techniques on a mobile element, in this case, a boat, from where the arrival to America of the conquerors of the New World is staged, “which the indigenous people who live there will perceive as aliens”; a story that allows audience interaction.

This GPD production uses 3D mapping (Scrip 3D) and special effects (Render motion graphics) that are projected on different scenic elements to create surprising optical illusions on giant water screens, cyber fountains with lighting, water cannons in tune with music, pyrotechnics, etc.

The multimedia show is projected on a screen about twelve meters long by six meters wide., for which four video projectors from the Belgian firm are used Barco, offering a total power of 88.000 lumens, with Watchout control and management system 5 of Dataton and lighting with moving heads from Skytracker.

For the implementation of this audiovisual infrastructure, the lake had to be previously emptied to carry out the assembly.. The project has had an investment of almost 300.000 euros.

The GPD company, belonging to the Acciona business group, has also produced, inter alia, the audiovisual show that the Seville city council projected on its façade at Christmas, and is framed within the concept 'Cultural engineering', developed by this company, with systems specifically designed to achieve an approach to local history and traditions.
