There’s a motion-capture TV show being made as we speak in Parry Sound.
As show productions see a drastic slowdown in the last year in light of COVID-19 restrictions worldwide, one local producer has been determined to bring a show to life.
Ever since March of last year, Ben Sainsbury has been working on Organ Bros, a show about two cyborg transplant surgeons in a post-pandemic future trying to make sense of life, out of his family cottage in Parry Sound.
Sainsbury told the My Parry Sound Now newsroom the computer-generated show features some voice actors from across the pond.
“I got a bunch of actors in the UK that were on Coronation Street(UK Show) and we’re doing something interesting where they’re giving me their voice and we are recording some of their actions on zoom and then I’m having motion-capture actors redo their body performance,” he said.
The high-tech series is directed by Anthony Baird, who is also working on the highly acclaimed Paramount show, Star Trek: Discovery.
Sainsbury said his team is currently working with distributors on a promotion plan for the release and you can find out more updates on the show on organbros.com
