Animation Producer Ninjaneer Studios Creates Virtual Stages for New Opera The Red Silk Thread

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. --- Ninjaneer Studios, which creates animation and projection mapping content, has produced a line of virtual sets for a new full-length opera, The Red Silk Thread, by composer Dr. Stella Sung and librettist Ernest Hilbert. Joe Rosa, director of Ninjaneer Studios, said the premiere performances are scheduled for April 11-12, 7:30 p.m. in Stamps Auditorium at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Dr. Sung (University of Michigan alumna, B.M, 1982) will return to the UM School of Music to work with students during the week of the performances. The opera’s staging utilizes 3D projection mapping technology, a new creative medium where digitally created content is projected onto physical objects, giving the illusion that the surface is being transformed, Rosa explained. By employing this technology to display stunning vistas of 13th century Asia, the opera gains an epic scope, which would be otherwise unattainable, Rosa said, adding that the virtual sets also allow stages to be reset between scenes instantly, and do not leave behind any physical set to be disposed of at the end of the show’s run. Ninjaneer Studios is a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program in Winter Springs, Florida.
