As Keyframe Manager, I am responsible for ensuring that our entire operation runs smoothly and as planned.  This entails occasional visits to our various outposts.  With studios in Tampa, Las Vegas, New York and Shanghai, I really can’t complain. 

On a recent visit to our Shanghai facility, I was treated to wonderful food and a visit to the Harmony Times Square mall in Suzhou, China, which is just a short trip from Shanghai.  Our Keyframe Shanghai team produced some amazing content for their huge Skyscreen LED display, including a couple of 5:00 animated short films.  One of those short films (shown above) is about a UFO mother ship releasing smaller spaceships to descend on the Suzhou Mall and beam up innocent bystanders. 

This video was shot with an HD camera, turned on its side so that the content can be viewed on the level.  As you can probably tell, the Skyscreen is a long, narrow display that faces down from above the sidewalk in the Harmony Times Square mall.  Next time you’re in Suzhou, I recommend checking it out.
