Blood Rite was a multimedia experience for Romans’ week, a commission by City of London for a spectacle performance above the ruined remains of the amphitheater of Guildhall Yard. Working closely with Boy Bue entertainment, Guiildhall Live Events devised a piece using motion capture and dance along side projection-mapping on to the three facades of Guildhall Yard 3. Toby McManus was fortunate enough to work on the pre-production team exploring ways to capture the movements of Boy Blue Entertainment's dancers, , using: Rokoko motion capture suits, go pro and DSLR multi camera rigs, Kinect and 360 degree cameras. He was also part of a nine person team carrying out the technical installations.
