Write a short summary of what happens in the film

It is dark at expo. Silence. A cleaner is sweeping the entrance. A Chamber maid is opening curtains in a hotel room. Cut to the control room, where the show-runner gives the go ahead signal. Suddenly light beams are up, and we are the Wasl Dome, the beating heart of Expo. Light propagates through expo in a wonderful avalanche of light. Expo illuminates and is now on, ready to welcome the performance of a life time. We cut to beauty shots of performance and end with the hero of the show welcoming the public to visit.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Its pretty much international meaning.

Tell the jury about the visual effects and summarise any relevant challenges or techniques.

The visual effects were done in the span of three days. We had to track the helicopter shot, recreate objects in 3D to add the light fountain avalanche in realistic space. 2 sleepless nights to hit the deadline with quality.
