Project Requiem: 'Sanctus' - A Sneak Peak

In truth, this first week of July 2014 is a sort of creative fever-dream! Not only is the course team busy launching New Designers this week, Project Requiem comes to fruition on Thursday too. Very soon now, the seven sculptures we've conjured from motion-capture data, Autodesk Maya and sheet steel will be installed on the lawn of the Royal Opera House's High House Production Park in Purfleet. The sculptures will augment a live performance of Verdi's Requiem as performed by 300 singers, and conducted by Arie van Beek, from whose original movements our sculptures derived.

These vibrant portraits of the sculptural piece deriving from CGAA alum Tom Beg's 'Sanctus' 3D form come to us courtesy of UCA Photography lecturer, Jonathan Simms - all I can say is 'pow!'
