Artistic Image/Atlanta created 3D animation and video enhancements Stone Mountain Park's new Lasershow Spectacular in Mountainvision, a landmark visited by more than 25 million people over the last 30-years.

The new Lasershow delivers and maps Artistic Image’s 3D animation onto the surface of the mountain, turning the stone into a display surface taller than the Statue of Liberty and five times the size of an IMAX screen. AI created an animated miner character that guides viewers through the events.

“The mountain surface added to the complexity, sometimes the animation obscured the mountain and and sometimes we were able to use the carving to the animation’s advantage,” says AI’s director of design and VFX, Ed Dye. “We also created a variety of video montages and other graphics to support the lasershow.”
