Join us at Sisler IDM for “The Ocean School”  Virtual Reality presentation on March 8.

This workshop is being offered by Freeze Frame Education, On Screen Manitoba, the National Film Board and Jac Gautreau.

About:

Presented in partnership with Freeze Frame, On Screen Manitoba and the National Film Board of Canada.
This workshop will interest anyone exploring the creative and production processes employed in producing a Virtual Reality project. Ocean School, an educational initiative co-created by Dalhousie University and the National Film Board of Canada, uses innovative pedagogical tools and powerful narrative techniques to inspire young people to better understand their impact on the ocean and the impact of the ocean on them. Gautreau will present the production process, the techniques used to capture and post-produce the content, as well as the educational concepts that guide the project. Participants will have a chance to try the prototype using equipment provided at the workshop, including smart phones, tablets and virtual reality helmets. The workshop will be in English.
