Frozen Ever After Full Ride POV - World of Frozen, Hong Kong Disneyland

[@JeremyAyres-z2e]

This is the difference between projected faces, and practical faces. They don't even compare. This is the way it is done.

[@ceasarsalad2055]

Not projected, it was LEDs

[@ayrtonsananda]

​@@ceasarsalad2055 No, it was projected. The projector is inside the head.

[@ceasarsalad2055]

@@ayrtonsananda If it was indeed projected, it would require high lumen projectors to prevent the projected image from looking washed out because of the bright spotlights. No high lumen projector can physically fit inside the animatronic's heads and even if they were able to invent one small enough, the head would be so tightly packed that you can only project on its nose and not on the entire face, because projections require distance. An LED screen molded into a face would be easier. This is the same technology Lady Gaga used in her Born This Way world tour. She had an animatronic floating head (lol) made out of LED screen that floats around the stage

[@ayrtonsananda]

@ceasarsalad2055 It can not possibly be LEDs. The head shape is too small and complex to even make the screen. Also, in certain videos, you can see the face is actually a blank white due to the projectors refresh rate not being synchronized with the camera frame rate. Also, if it was indeed LED, it would actually be way too bright and would not be as "white-out" as projectors. Projectors have a distinct "screen," which are more white than LEDs. This is not the first time disney has used projectors for faces/mouths. Take a look at Seven Dwarves Mine Train. The projectors for the faces are also located inside the head as seen in the patents (which you can see by searching it up on google). Also, on Cars, McQueen has a projected mouth, but in his case, the projector is located in front of him.

[@tukutazi]

@@ceasarsalad2055 Nah, Disney uses projection mapped faces on a lot of its modern animatronics in US theme parks. You're wrong. A quick google search will show you the evidence.

[@AmusementLabs]

I noticed while the main animatronics are all practical, the side ones like Olaf, Sven and the rock people still have projected eyes.

[@WDWNT]

So they can be more expressive probably

[@nihilisticprophet6985]

I think the rock people have whole face projected cos their mouths are so expressive

[@awesumtoast97]

Only the rock kids do. The chief is animatronic but the eyes

[@kentslocum]

The real mountainside/hillside behind Arendelle makes the entire land more immersive. Too bad the other parks don't have such natural beauty as a backdrop.

[@chrishintz1077]

[@ghosty4]

They rebuilt an OVERLAY. This is so gross.

[@kentslocum]

​@@FrostedfractalsTrue, but Hong Kong got the brand-new and exclusive Wandering Oaken's Sliding Sleighs, which, while short, is also extremely detailed, very cozy, and adds a lot to the land. The Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs expansion won't have that 😢 (yes, it will have a lot of other things, but still...).

Although I had watched the video of Frozen Ever After in epcot, I am not expecting to be that touching when I took the boat ride😭😭. I think the biggest surprise is that the drop is way more intense than expected . I don’t have to travel from Hong Kong to epcot to experience FEA, coz I can simply go to HK Disneyland to take this ride❤. Clarification: I’m Not a big fan of Frozen.
