Art Direction

Dennis K. Law, MD,  Art Director 

The ability to combine high-definition 3D cinema with live action theater is a dream come true.  Terracotta Warriors 3D lets a two thousand year old story come to life using a backdrop of unprecedented 3D digital matte paintings and 3D animation --- truly the first in the history of stage entertainment.  This turned out to be an exceptionally challenging task because I had to push the creative envelope at almost every level.  After all, this was a territory where no one had ever been to before.  I believe the efforts were worthwhile because the audience can now be more immersed into the midst of the action like never before.  
                                                                            
Tu Juhua,  Set Designer
This conversion of the original edition of Terracotta Warriors to its new 3D edition makes use of the original set design conceptual paintings by Chinese set designer, Tu Juhua, well-known for his extensive repertoire in the recent history of Chinese cinema.  Most notable in his designs for motion picture is the construction of the world famous architectural movie set representing the Qin Dynasty in the renowned film, The Emperor and the Assassin, winning the Art Direction prize in 1999 at the Cannes Film Festival.  This should make Mr. Tu truly the ranking authority in the understanding of art, culture and history of the Qin dynasty.
