Dolby Laboratories, Inc.
DLB
in conjunction with Collective Digital Studio and Rocket Jump Studios, announces its collaboration on the highly anticipated third season of Video Game High School (VGHS). Created by Freddie Wong and Matt Arnold, VGHS is considered one of the most successful made-for-digital original franchises, garnering over 84 million video views from its first two seasons and backed in large part by its die-hard fans, who contributed to various Kickstarter® and IndieGoGo® crowd-funding campaigns. The series is produced by Collective Digital Studio and Rocket Jump Studios. For the third and final season, which premieres on RocketJump's YouTube® channel and other electronic sell-through platforms on October 13, Dolby provided sound design and mixing services in order to ensure that the 5.1 surround-sound production was on par with even the most ambitious feature films and television series. There has been a sharp increase in the visual quality of made-for-digital productions, as creators incorporate more sophisticated cameras, lighting, and effects in order to deliver motion picture–quality results. The VGHS collaboration is part of an ongoing Dolby initiative to educate digital filmmakers on how to easily and efficiently incorporate high-quality sound design and multichannel audio into their made-for-digital productions, so that the audio quality can keep pace with the visuals. “Audiences are consuming digital content on an ever-expanding array of devices and services that support multichannel audio, including large smart TVs and video game consoles, and also on mobile devices,” said Glenn Kiser, Director of the Dolby® Institute. “As a result, made-for-digital content is sitting alongside more traditional media, and for certain genres—such as action, sci-fi, and horror, where audio is such a crucial storytelling device—it's critical that creators meet the audience's heightened expectations concerning quality.” “We're excited for our viewers to experience the explosive action sequences in the final episodes of VGHS that will be heightened by the strong sound dynamics powered by Dolby,” said VGHS creator Freddie Wong. In addition to VGHS, Dolby has collaborated with notable digital filmmakers including Michael Gallagher and Corridor Digital to incorporate multichannel audio in select productions. Dolby has formalized the Made-for-Web Audio Program, and will identify up to a half-dozen new, high-profile projects from premium content creators for collaborations through 2015. The Made-for-Web Audio Program is part of the Dolby Institute, Dolby's initiative to educate and inspire content creators on the creative use of sound and picture as storytelling tools.
