upgraded Mummy escape room at st. louis escape

3/20/2018

St. Louis Escape just upgraded their incredible Curse of the Mummy escape room with two new breathtaking CGI effects. The first is a countdown timer formed with Egyptian hieroglyphics that slowly counts down the minutes left by breaking away pieces of rock - the timer also features scorpions and tarantulas. The other effect is an expansive view of the Egyptian night sky which reveals clues after a sandstorm, complete with famous landmarks and burning torches.

We also produced a promo video for St Louis Escape, to help market their new attraction. Take a look at the video above to see one of the world's most immersive and incredible escape rooms that makes you feel like you just walked into a movie!

The Ghostbusters Escape room recently opened in Washington, DC - and we provided all of the CGI animated special effects in the room including the painting from Ghostbusters 2 that comes to life, a library filled with spooky specters, the containment unit featuring "Slimer" and even a window with a fully animated New York City being attacked by the Marshmallow man!

Watch the above promo video which we also created for Escape Room Live in Washington, DC, to help them promote their new attraction.

We also created animated media and promotional videos for several of their other escape rooms - including their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles room, Friday the 13th, Mummy and Titanic.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom OPENS

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom opened just after the Chinese New Year in 2014, and is proving itself to be a high quality, world-class tourist attraction, already garnering 5 entries into the Guinness Book of World Records and top accolades from within the themed entertainment industry.

"Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is widely regarded as a gamechanger, in terms of product quality, originality and as a proving ground for east-west collaboration."
- Judith Rubin, InPark Magainze

Renaissance Entertainment provided concept design and art direction to Guangdong Chimelong Group, in creating four attractions for Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. Attraction Design Services was subcontracted by Renaissance, and Mediarific in turn was subcontracted to produce animated concept art.

Mediarific's team, led by creative director Jeff Cappleman and supervising animator Emerson Frota, created a full 11 minute 3D pre-visualization of the "Deep Sea Odyssey" dark ride attraction. This dark ride attraction actually passes in and around the massive, record breaking aquarium - unlike any other of it's kind in the world.

The pre-visualization went above what was expected and included full-color animatics of the media sequences, animated gobos with passenger activated interactive lighting effects, and simulated video of guests in the ride vehicle enjoying and interacting with ride elements.

"We started this project with a certain budget and a tight schedule. They were aware that the budget was not where it should be for the quality that was delivered. Jeff delivered and they were happy with the results....it was certainly above and beyond the budget, and the schedule, and on top of that - change after change after change
that our clients requested at the final hour. Jeff continued to come through with revisions and get us what we needed for our client.

We never worried about Jeff’s competency, reliability, and execution since we have had a working relationship with him for 14 years and know his excellent work ethic...

...Jeff is a pleasure to work with, he comes through when you wouldn't expect that he would."

- Kenneth Eff, Attraction Design Services

Mediarific, in cooperation with Halloween Productions, produced 3 new clown themed CG triggerable animations for Terrorvisions, a 3D haunted attraction in St. Louis.

One of the animations is a three multi-screen sequence which is installed in a real ice cream truck complete with a motion-base platform. Guests walk into the truck and get the feeling of a chaotic ride through the streets.

The other sequences feature a shooting gallery and a claw game.

The media features bright vibrant colors and was carefully designed to look dynamic with or without Chromadepth glasses.

Mediarific creates 6 CG sequences for The Darkness

9/1/2013

1 Comment

The Darkness in St. Louis is one of the biggest, scariest, and most elaborate haunted attraction in the world.

Mediarific produces six triggerable CGI animations for the haunt. Each animation features a buffer (a relatively quiet animation with subtle motion, for instance a window with a burning building in the background), followed by a trigger (A sudden scare, for example, a demoness leaps up and breaks the window).

Each animation was installed with a physical, visceral effect timed to match the animation. During the scare, real water, air or CO2 fog is blasted at the guests.

One of the animations, the Clown, was produced in Chromadepth - for a 3D appearance with the use of Chromadepth glasses.

Jeff Cappleman supervised and art directed the sequences, with Emerson Frota leading the team of 3D artists.
