Give the Dream a BOOST!
Our production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at York University, March 23-28, 2013 will use motion capture technology to mix digital effects and character animation with live theatre.
Over the next six months, a team of gifted artists and technophiles will be collaborating to weave cutting-edge videogame magic into Shakespeare's fairy-filled comedy romp.
But high-tech isn't always low-cost, so we're applying to ideaBOOST, the Canadian Film Centre's new digital entertainment development lab, for financial, technological and strategic support. If you'd like to help vote us into the program, check out the web page below:
