His Highness was briefed on the work produced using artificial intelligence technologies. He toured the sound recording rooms, image quality control, editing and post-production facilities, and listened to an explanation on the development of filmmaking processes.

His Highness visited the Sound Effects Hall and watched a presentation on the most prominent sound technologies used in cinematic works, and was briefed on the uses of “Green Chroma” technology and underwater filming techniques.

His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed also visited Shanghai Film Park, which features diverse, fully equipped filming locations. His Highness toured the “Babeling Well Road” filming site and viewed the “Zhejiang Road Bridge” location, which was rebuilt to match historic bridge designs.

His Highness also visited the classic car exhibition, one of the park’s key resources for film and television productions. He toured the park by train modelled on the one used in the town during the 1930s, and reviewed the park’s main events and services.

His Highness learned about the system used to archive events, matches, and tournaments via advanced digital systems and viewed the interactive touchscreens.

His Highness the Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council also viewed the giant screens displaying the club’s most prominent achievements, as well as photographic materials and match videos in which the team achieved its victories.

His Highness was briefed on the club’s communication with fans through its smart app, digital platforms, social media live broadcasts, a dedicated studio, and interactive stadium games that improve visitors’ focus and shooting skills.

His Highness was briefed on the stadium’s AI-enabled facial recognition for fan entry and exit, on-pitch monitoring, Huawei’s display technologies, modern stadium technology, and AI-driven data management.

At the end of the two visits, His Highness the Chairman of the Sharjah Media Council exchanged gifts and commemorative shields with the Chinese side, took group photos, expressed happiness with the visit, and stressed the importance of enhancing cooperation and exchanging experiences in the fields of sports, media and technical management, content creation and film production.
