The Flying Machine – The World of Chopin’s Etudes

February 27th, 2011 in Piano News by | 3 comments

Being produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birthday, The Flying Machine takes the eternally fascinating and affecting Études, and crafts a celebration of the role that music and dance play in our lives, especially in our first pre-teen steps into the adult world.

The premier was a one-off film event at the Royal Festival Hall in London on February 12th & 13th with the sound track performed live by pianist Lang Lang.

The Flying Machine is the first 3-D film to be premiered inside a concert hall, and also the first film to combine live action and stop-motion in 3-D – and not least has the first 3-D sequence in a feature where the audience is inside a painting.
It is crafted for a multi-platform world with a feature film, several independent short films, an online game, live show and CD all to be released over the course of this year.

The feature film The Flying Machine will air on Sky 3D (UK) in May 2011.
