A responsive HTML5 multi-camera video experience for the Royal Opera House website, using Video.js and the YouTube API. Designed to give users a unique insight into the performance of Wagner’s The Ring Cycle, users can choose from seventeen different camera angles and three different sound mixes or follow the prompt book, which is used to cue the technical crew and artists.
The project generated a social media buzz, including a recommendation from Stephen Fry on Twitter:
An amazing new toy to play with, for anybody interested in how a theatre works backstage! Ride of the Valkyries, go! http://t.co/qRDdWlMjOu
