ACO in 3D

An innovative project conceptualised by media artist Michela Ledwidge saw the Australian Chamber Orchestra filmed in 3D for a virtual and immersive experience set to tour the globe. Using a DSLR camera and custom build stereo mirror rig, each member of the orchestra was individually and simultaneously filmed in front of a green screen playing their unique instrument to create a synthesis of sound. Once combined, the finished score is played in an installation space and accompanied by visuals of each musician for the listener to hear and see in 3D for a completely new and immersive treat for the senses.
After a year in the making it all came together to be filmed at Fox Studios and to assist each musician Megadeck provided individual risers for each player to perform and have enough space to comfortably undertake the task at hand.
Produced by MOD Productions and DIORAMA Films & Digital as apart of an advanced digital project for the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
