metaversal studios collaborates with dj spooky |
Nine animators. Three days. Thirty-seven animations.Although we at Metaversal Studios are known for our laid-back attitudes and outrageous senses of fun, we also know when to set aside our toys and get the job done. In this case, we started on a Friday afternoon with eight scanned pages of sheet music, a rough concept, and a full pot of coffee. Pulling in the entire crew of Metaversaliens and recruiting some new Minions for good measure, we finished up at 5pm Monday with 37 animations and a scratch-built real-time Flash video mixing engine, to boot! The animations and custom mixing tool enabled DJ Spooky to produce visual accompaniments to his six-minute live remix of the works of Pierre Boulez as part of "Pierre Boulez at Eighty: A Tribute to Pierre Boulez", presented on May 10, 2005 by the Ensemble Sospeso in Carnegie Hall's newest performing space, Zankel Hall. So how does this relate to game design? The key here is "play". We believe that artist tools should be as fun to play with as toys. We also believe that the best tools work like the best games: easy to pick up, but offering multiple levels of complexity for those who take the time to explore. If your company wants a new way of looking at an interactivity design problem, whether it's a game or a tool or a presentation, contact us for some fast and fun help!
