Make a Music Video with WebVR (Part 2)
This March 17th (4pm-7pm PST) IM4 will be hosting ‘Make a Music Video with WebVR’ Part 2 with VR instructor Nancy Lee. This workshop will include guest speakers Kiran Bhumber and Quinn Brander. Students will learn about non-linear immersive storytelling and spatial audio design. This will be the 2 out of 2 workshops focused on creating a 30s-1min music video using the online program A-Frame.
What is VR? It refers to a computer-generated simulation where a person can be completely immersed in a 3D environment.
Have you ever wondered about how a virtual reality environment is created online? Try out this online workshop using A-Frame. In this workshop students will be given an introduction to Virtual Reality, and get the chance to learn the basics on how to build an immersive environment through web VR and an introduction to sound design for immersive experiences.
We hope to see you at this immersive learning experience!
REQUIREMENTS:

- Access to Wi-fi Internet, computer/laptop, and a webcam.
VR Instructor
Nancy Lee 李南屏 is a Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary media artist, curator, filmmaker, DJ and cultural producer. Their work stimulates and enlivens space, making a provocative statement about how inescapably interconnected we are with our surroundings. This notion of staging is a constant in Nancy’s work and underpins their projects, from their early work as a more traditional filmmaker, through their conception and planning of live events, and into the realms of XR, new media performance and installation, where their art practices continue to coalesce and evolve.
