A Virtual Dylan
Dylan Thomas brought back to life in Virtual Reality on the Anniversary of his Death
Do not go gentle into that good night....
Through the medium of 3D computer animation, Wales' favourite poet, has been recreated in virtual reality, and will perform his most popular poem to an audience in his home town of Swansea, on the anniversary of his death.
(I-Newswire) - Bernard Mitchell and iCreate are proud to announce the World Premier of ‘A Virtual Dylan’, a 3D photo-realistic performance of Dylan Thomas reading again his poem ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’.
Wednesday November 9th. 2005 at 5.30pm. The Dylan Thomas Centre, Somerset Place, Swansea
Through the medium of 3D digital computer animation we have brought back to life Dylan in a strikingly vivid way that has never been seen before. No moving pictures are known to survive.
The virtual head has been recreated by the talented team of animators at iCreate in Technium, Swansea, using photographs, a 3D scan of his death mask, and voice recordings made in New York in 1952.
The concept of ‘A Virtual Dylan’ was developed by photographer Bernard Mitchell after a life-time interest in the poet, during recent post-graduate research at Swansea School of Art.
The production company Bvirtual Ltd was formed to market and licence ‘A Virtual Dylan’ and develop exciting future projects.
“Today we are at the beginning of a new era of 3D computer imaging and animation. It is our ambition to build in Swansea a centre of international excellence, in the high growth virtual reality industry.”
"The challenge was to create a credible virtual performance of Dylan Thomas reading his own poetry, to help make it accessible to a new generation of poetry lovers who are more interested in TV and film than in the written word".
"We have had input from Dylan Thomas' daughter and others who knew him in real life, to ensure our model was as accurate as possible".
