Project Description

The theatre and digital media departments of York University in Toronto, Canada, collaborated on a groundbreaking stage production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream in March 2013, directed by Alison Humphrey. The production was enhanced with real-time motion capture, 3d animation and responsive digital effects.

Project Breakdown

We utilized live motion capture technology during the production and created responsive “fairy magic” using infrared light tracking. As a member of the digital media team, I was heavily involved in developing and implementing interactive visual effects for the performances.

I was responsible for designing and creating interactive effects that respond to various commands, such as those from a mouse and keyboard, a MIDI controller, and a custom camera that uses infrared-light tracking technology. I also collaborated with other production team members to brainstorm and develop new ideas for the visual effects and provided technical support during rehearsals and performances.
