LiXiang L7 Virtual Launch Event 2023
In a groundbreaking virtual launch event, LiXiang and SBF joined forces to captivate over 10 million viewers. Over the course of two months, they created an immersive online experience that set a new industry benchmark. It all began with the concept of LiXiang's "Mobile Home" product, which served as the inspiration for eight enchanting scenes.
The journey commenced with the LiXiang car's home, a cozy haven, before whisking viewers away to the picturesque "Forest Tree House." From there, they found themselves immersed in the romance of the "Starry Sky Camp," followed by a breathtaking view from the "Distant Mountain Horizon." The adventure continued with glimpses into the secretive "Safety Laboratory" and the creative "Designer Studio." Next, the bustling "Futuristic City" showcased the vibrant energy of LiXiang's vision, leading to the grand finale at the "LiXiang Dealer Shop."
The team embraced the power of virtual production, meticulously crafting every detail. Real ground settings replaced traditional virtual screens, lending an unparalleled sense of realism. The shooting process, lasting only three and a half days, demanded exceptional execution and boundless creativity. With soil, gravel, and a myriad of props, they meticulously designed each scene. Vegetation choices were carefully tailored to match the ambiance, ensuring authenticity.
Cutting-edge technology was their ally. Utilizing six NDISPLAY servers, twelve NVIDIA A6000 graphics cards, and a dedicated 600-square-meter p2.6 LED screen, they bridged the gap between the virtual and real worlds. Their unified software and hardware integration delivered an experience that felt remarkably lifelike.
Throughout the shoot, the team's unwavering dedication shone. They continuously monitored visual effects, adjusting camera angles, lighting, and colors in real time. Their goal was to create the perfect composition and engage in seamless communication with the clients, saving valuable time.
The event's speakers, real industry professionals, showcased their expertise with utmost professionalism. Guided by targeted emotional cues, they delivered heartfelt speeches that resonated with the audience.
Every transition was meticulously designed to evoke a sense of wonder. For instance, the journey from the starry sky camp to the mountaintop involved crafting over ten variations of vegetation and gravel. Each scene was transformed, offering a unique and mesmerizing experience.
Post-processing was where the magic truly came alive. The collaboration between SBF and LiXiang elevated the visuals to cinematic levels. Color grading was meticulously adjusted, highlighting every detail, even the texture and shine of the car's paint from every angle.
To immerse viewers completely, ambient sounds were added to each scene. Birds chirping in the valley of the forest tree house, the soothing murmur of water by the starry sky camp, and the bustling sounds of passing cars in the futuristic city — every auditory element heightened the sensory experience.
