Abstract

The present invention relates to a virtual directing system for a massive fireworks show, which builds a virtual set with the same conditions as the real set, arranges and sets auxiliary directing devices such as fireworks, sound, video, lighting, laser, etc. in the virtual set, and derives an optimal directing scenario through repetitive simulations that respond individually or in combination to a planning intention of parties involved to minimize directing accidents or planned directing deviations in an actual show and actively improve the perfection of the show. Based on a prepared music file and an internet map, a virtual set with the same condition as the real set is built, and several fireworks are randomly placed in the virtual set and surrounding structures to match an intended directing scenario. Customized sound, video, and lighting caused by multiple launches of fireworks are simulated individually or in combination in response to a preset sequence in a virtual environment based on the virtual set. Therefore, the optimal directing scenario is derived by repeatedly trying to visualize and edit the directing intention of the show in advance.

Description

Large-scale fireworks performance virtual production system {Fireworks Virtual Production System}

The present invention has developed a technical idea for a virtual directing system that provides a more complete performance by reproducing a large-scale fireworks performance virtually to identify and take action against unexpected problems that may occur in an actual venue. After establishing a virtual concert hall with the same conditions as the concert hall, placing and setting auxiliary directing devices such as fireworks, sound, video, lighting, and lasers in the virtual concert hall, it is optimal through repetitive simulations that respond individually or in combination to the planning intentions of the concerned parties. It relates to a large-scale fireworks performance virtual production system that can actively improve the completeness of the performance by minimizing directing accidents or planned production deviations in actual performances by deriving the directing scenarios.

In general, fireworks are a mixture of gunpowder and metal powder, which is foamed into the air to enjoy light and sound caused by explosion or combustion. Recently, it is accompanied by various equipment such as separately prepared sound and video or lighting to provide a more splendid performance. have.

As one of the technical examples related to the fireworks display, Patent Publication No. 10-1195470 "Integrated control system for large-scale multimedia fireworks performances" is published, and the technology is The above factors are checked collectively by the performers, and a technology that can individually control each directing equipment is proposed.

However, this technique requires elaborate setting and control for each production equipment, so it takes a lot of time to set up the initial stage. In particular, if an abnormality occurs in the production, individual control is performed for each production equipment, making it difficult to respond quickly.

On the other hand, hard work has been made to solve the above problem, and among the results related thereto, there is Patent Publication No. 10-1809153 "Integrated control system for large-scale multimedia fireworks performances". In this technology, the production of each output unit such as fireworks, laser output, lighting output, video output, sound source output, etc., is set on a timeline basis, and the time code generated for each output unit and the main console interlocking with it allow all output units to be integrated. As it is controlled individually, it has the advantage of minimizing the operation abnormality and operation delay of the directing unit caused by abnormality and communication delay of a control device provided in a large-scale multimedia fireworks performance.

However, the above technology not only requires preliminary inspection of the performance venue to plan the production before the performance, but also pre-executes additional directing elements such as sound, video, and lighting tailored to the venue and production plan, as well as the directing algorithm of the fireworks. As this was impossible, deviations occurred between the planned and actual productions in the actual performance process, and from this, various problems occurred in a series, and a high-quality performance could not be provided.

As a result, after constructing a virtual concert hall with the same conditions as the actual concert hall, the best production scenario was derived by simulating the director's directing intention in advance, and also, by identifying various problems that may occur in the performance process in advance and preparing in advance, further completion is achieved. We need technology that can provide high performance.
