A video showing a building complex in Chongqing Municipality, southwest China, turning into a snow-covered base shooting a laser beam into the sky is going viral on social media. Liu Jun and his colleagues spent 45 days using visual effects to produce the hyper-realistic video. The group wanted to pay tribute to the Chinese movie "The Wandering Earth," which tells the story of humankind’s efforts to relocate Earth as the Sun expands, threatening to set the planet and its inhabitants on fire.
