The Magic Ship of the Orient

The work constructs a stage scene with Oriental cultural elements, combining Chinese folding fans, pipa and engines into a huge spacecraft. The video uses 3D animation, AIGC, and naked eye 3D technology to allow the audience to experience time travel, featuring landscapes, phoenixes, Chinese gardens, Shikumen and Shanghai. In the background of the fashion show, the designer used AI generated giant animations to echo more than 60 models, reflecting the design elements of the clothing. The work integrates virtual and real elements to complement the fashion show.
