Activity

Mountain biking

Mountain biking brings city biking to a whole new level! Mountain biking allows you to appreciate a challenging terrain where the experience becomes a downhill adventure. You can do all kinds of trails, from easier flat surfaces to advanced steep and rugged paths. Special bikes are used for mountain biking, as it’s important to have bikes with good shocks and tires!

Tyee & Tristan tried out mountain biking with Sean at Dirt Camp!

Icebreaker

MOCAP (Motion capture)

It might seem like a fairly new concept, but motion capture technology has actually been around for about 100 years. By the mid 90’s, many video games started to use motion capture to help animate characters and by the early 2000’s, motion capture was common place – like Andy Serkis’ performance as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers!

Trey & Tristan had their cool Mocap experience at Studio de Chateau!

All the different camera angles...

So cool!
