Making a Music Video: with Motion Capture – Interactive Workshop 7th March ’24 12.15pm session

Fusing technology & movement, students will develop their visual storytelling skills and collaborate with a live artist to create a movement-based animation. Year 3 – S2 Year 4 – S2 Year 5 – S3 Year 6 – S3 Making a Music Video: with Motion Capture – Interactive Workshop 7th March ’24 12.15pm session The team are all here at the Sydney Opera House to create a new music video, but there’s one key role missing….the choreographer! Luckily our students have shown up online to take on this important role.
With the help of the motion capture performers, the students are guided through making the artistic decisions to create a music video. They will engage in movement activities to uncover the story they want to tell and decide how they can capture that story through visual storytelling.
Students will be introduced to all the key people in their team. They will experience how to create a dance piece, both from a production and creative perspective.
At the end, we’ll capture your best moves, fusing our technology with your creativity. But will the music video sink or soar? The creative team will decide!
For the best experience we recommend no more than 30 students per booking
