A SeaChanger for All Seasons at Wynn Macao Casino
Nearly 100 SeaChanger colour engines from Ocean Optics were chosen to create the dramatic lighting effects of the spectacular ‘Tree of Prosperity' installation at the Wynn Macau Resort and Casino, a lavish 600-room casino hotel on the thriving Macau island off of China's southeastern coast.
SeaChanger xG (extreme green) Profile version colour engines were added as part of a major expansion completed in December 2007, ringing the lobby rotunda of the resort to form an integral part of the Tree of Prosperity show. In the show - an explosion of light, video, music and art - the ceiling opens up to reveal a spectacular, descending chandelier. As a 24-carat gold-covered tree emerges from the floor, it is illuminated by the SeaChangers in a dazzling array of colours that convey the passing of the seasons. The show runs twice an hour for about five minutes, and can be viewed at YouTube.com (search "Wynn Macau Tree of Prosperity").
The four-filter CYMG SeaChanger attaches to the reflector housing of any Source Four ellipsoidal and uses robust dichroic filter technology to create a virtually endless palette of stable, reproducible colours. Colour transitions from clear to 100% saturation are possible in less than one second. The filters have a higher transmission efficiency than gels and other filter materials, and their resistance to temperature and humidity eliminates the need for noisy fans that may interfere with production audio.
The SeaChangers were specified by lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe and installed by Ocean Optics distributor Peter Chong of Prosperity Lamps & Components Limited.
