DINOSAUR LAND ‘DARK RIDE’ ANIMATION
Attractions / Animation
This ‘Dark Ride’ experience was created for a themed attraction in China, our team at our Tel Aviv studio were asked to create this immense cinematic experience to feature as part of a dark ride section of the Dinosaur Land Tram tour that happens once the cart enters an immersive prehistoric cave. The content was directed, produced and delivered by our in-house team who working in close partnership with the ride designers ‘Super 78’ using state of the art pre-visualisation techniques delivered through a custom built VR application and viewed on VR headsets to mimic real world experience enabling the whole production process to be deliver and reviewed in real-time. This type of production technology is becoming more widely used in the entertainment industries and beginning to change the landscape of virtual CG production allowing the client and technical partners to review content, deliver higher quality rendering and refine the whole review and delivery experience remotely in ways that were not previously possible for the long format content creation industries.

The Making Of Video
Below is a very short break down to give you a little taster of how we made this incredibly complicated CG animated prehistoric experience which had to be rendered at a very large resolution format.
The Final Animations
The animation were created as two large format stereoscopic animations that are played in sync across 4 x 8k projectors onto two 20m screens.
The ride consisted of an tradition cart ride through an outdoor section of the experience where the passenger is taken through deep forests where you are confronted with full scale animatronic Dinosaurs before you are directed into the cave where you are presented with our high resolution pre-rendered stereoscopic action packed content which is projected through 4 x 8K resolution projectors played on two screens which were 20 meters long and 6 meters high.
The client wanted to make an epic cinematic experience based on our ability to deliver world class quality action packed CG rendered cinematic quality long form content which would completely immerse and engage for the viewer. Our animation was not only visually exciting but was designed to get your heart pumping by syncing the movement and action to the hydraulics of the cart simulating the bumping and movements of the cart through the water scenes.
It was a massively exciting project to be asked to create and we had a lot of fun bringing the concepts to life in such an epic way.
Our in house production team are able to take care of your complete content creation requirement from initial story and creative direction and concept / character design, right the way through to the final large format visual and audio production.
