Big ideas for Hawaii Soundstage
A lively discussion ensued with many ideas forwarded including virtual reality, motion capture suits, music album cover shots, talent showcases, co-work for creative artists, edit bays, screen rooms, photography, multi-camera live streaming, fiber optics data service and more. In addition, a community arts production calendar and news service were also of strong interest. Ultimately, the central desire of all was to work together so as not to compete and to leverage the synergies of the community to the betterment of Hawai‘i’s creative arts community.
