1. Four pictures and one book.
The four drawings generally refer to plane renderings, construction drawings, electrical schematic diagrams, and mechanical transmission schematic diagrams. A book refers to a creative instruction booklet. The specific steps are that, according to the creative theme of the creative planner, the art designer designs the plane effect diagram of the lantern with hand-drawn drawings or computer-aided methods. The art and craft engineer draws the construction drawing of the lantern production structure according to the plane effect drawing of the lantern. The electrical engineer or technician draws the schematic diagram of the electrical installation of the lantern according to the construction drawing. A mechanical engineer or technician draws a traditional schematic diagram of a machine from the produced shop drawings. Lantern Changyi planners describe in writing the theme, content, lighting, and mechanical effects of the lantern products.
2. Art production stakeout.
The printed paper sample is distributed to each type of personnel, and it is checked again during the production process. The enlarged sample is generally made by the art craftsman according to the design of the structural construction drawing, and the aggregated lantern elements are scaled up on the ground in a single piece so that the modeling craftsman can make it according to the large sample.
3. Inspect the shape of the sample.
The modeling craftsman uses self-made tools to check out the parts that can be used for modeling by using the iron wire according to the large sample. Spot welding is when the modeling technologist, under the guidance of the art technologist, uses the spot welding process to weld the detected wire parts into three-dimensional colored lamp parts. If there are some dynamic colorful lights, there are also steps for making and installing mechanical transmissions.
4. Electrical installation.
Electrical engineers or technicians install LED bulbs, light strips, or light tubes according to design requirements, make control panels, and connect mechanical components such as motors.
5. Color separation paper.
According to the artist's instructions on the colors of the three-dimensional lantern parts, the pasting craftsman selects silk cloth of various colors and decorates the surface through cutting, bonding, welting, and other processes.
6. Art processing.
Art craftsmen use spraying, hand-painting, and other methods to complete the artistic treatment consistent with the renderings on the pasted three-dimensional lantern parts.
7. On-site installation.
Under the guidance of an artist and craftsman, assemble and install the instructions of the construction structure drawing for each colored lantern component that has been made, and finally form a colored lantern group that is consistent with the rendering.
