The CLC buys MediaStage

The range of features within MediaStage enable students and teachers to:

  • Build their own 3D stage sets and experiment with staging
  • Add virtual actors from a 3D cast and animate them using a range of gesture and movement instructions
  • Direct the cast to walk, talk, and pose. Text-to-speech technology allows users to make characters speak, and an audio recording facility allows them to record their own voices with full character lip-synchronisation
  • Operate cameras and frame shots
  • Set up lights and add special effects
  • Import sound effects, still images, video files and background music
  • Create performances made up of a sequenced script of editable events using their own narratives or those provided
  • Save and share performances as image and movie files for uploading to the web or emailing.

Besides its impact for creative learning in the classroom, MediaStage is an exciting way for anyone to explore the techniques and skills of film and TV production.
