We would like to do as much of the preproduction in virtual reality as
possible. Design of the theater, set design, music and chorography.
Rehearse the play before we build the theater.
Our production will involve high profile Texas artists who have
everything but spare time. I looking for a way to network them.
For instance, a musician in Hawaii, a set designer in LA, a chorographer
in New York and a director in Texas, all looking at the same screen:
Chorographer: "I really dug the piece you downloaded last Sunday but I
need 6 more seconds to get this guy from here (moves animated figure) to
here."
Set designer: "What if I moved this wall back three feet?"
Musician: "How about this (strums the extra chords of his MIDI equipped
guitar)?
Director: "I need a little more menace to set of the next scene."
Musician: "Like this?"
Set designer: "How about a little more red fill on the rocks." (Changes
the lighting)
Director: "Looks good. Until next meeting."
In keeping with tradition, we are long on imagination and short on cash.
Any suggestions.
