The date won’t wait
A festival film one day late is useless, and the window for revisions is tight.
Festival, Lantern & Night-Tour Videos:Openers for the Big Screen and the Feed
Festival dates don’t move: Lantern Festival is one night, New Year is midnight, and the film has to be ready before then. The screen is rarely a normal one either—two towers, a curved wall, an ultra-wide strip—so ordinary video gets its subject cut off and its text lost.
We start with screen dimensions, viewing distance and the run-of-show, and place the hero and the greeting where the crowd can actually see them. Festive motifs and local landmarks go in together, and the opener, countdown, teaser and greeting share one look—with time built in for changes.

01CHALLENGES
Where this kind of video usually gets stuck
Odd-shaped screens
Facade, irregular and ultra-wide screens push a standard frame’s subject off where people look.
Night scenes are hard to film
Before opening there are no lights; after opening there are too many people; last year’s footage feels stale.
02WHY AI
How AI solves them
Composed for the screen
Subjects placed by real dimensions and sightlines, so even distant viewers see the characters and the greeting.
Before the lights go up
No need to wait for installation—lantern scenes are generated from designs and past photos.
Festive and local
Lanterns, paper-cuts and fireworks share the frame with local landmarks and heritage.
One look, several versions
On-site opener, midnight countdown, teaser and greeting all match.
03WHAT WE MAKE
What we can make
Lantern and Spring Festival openers
For festival openings, facade screens and gala starts—reunion and New Year cheer.
Midnight countdowns
From city vistas down to midnight, with the crowd shouting the last seconds together.
Lantern and night-tour promos
Pre-festival teasers telling visitors which installations to see, when and where.
Holiday greeting shorts
Vertical greetings for the day itself, carrying the same look past the holiday.
04HOW IT WORKS
How it works
Each step comes to you for approval before we move on.
- STEP 01
You share screen and schedule
Screen size, placement, event timeline and the elements or brands to feature.
- STEP 02
We plan chapters and stills
We set the chapters and content, then lay out key frames on your screen’s exact ratio.
- STEP 03
We generate and score
We generate motion and add music and effects, keeping countdown numbers and greeting cards as separate layers.
- STEP 04
Early delivery, with margin
The on-site version lands before the festival, then teasers and greetings; we adjust after on-site tests.

07FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Our screen isn’t a standard size.
- Send us the dimensions or a layout plan and we’ll build to the real ratio. For facades, curved and ultra-wide screens, we place the subject by where the audience stands.
- The festival is close. Is there still time?
- The sooner the better. A 1–2 minute film usually has a first cut in about a week once materials are in; if time is short, we lock the opener first and add the rest after. Rush production is available; timeline and price are agreed case by case.
- Can the countdown and greeting change?
- Yes. Countdown numbers, dates and greeting cards are separate layers, so a schedule change only touches those—not the visuals.
- Can sponsors appear?
- Yes. Logos, mascots and products can have their own segment or end card without breaking the festive mood.
