Unique aquatic effects

The permanent show, ‘Lake of Illusions’, is held every evening in the heart of Shanghai’s Happy Valley. A unique show designed by ECA2, complete with a brand new animated feature: ‘the first multimedia tower in the world’. This 35-metre-tower, a true 360° icon, appears to grow wings with its impressive water screens and magical video effects. ECA2 called upon Crystal Group to develop the aquatic effects.
