天美mv天美 School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT) is excited to announce the next step in Cappuverse 天美mv天美 (formerly, StudioSIAT Virtual Ambassador Program) with the debut of its second generation, Wren Akane and AP0110, and celebrating Mo and Faye鈥檚 first anniversary in tandem. Heralded by two fully student-created animated debut trailers, Cappuverse 天美mv天美 continues to showcase the creative and innovative work SIAT students are capable of.

This next generation of virtual ambassadors is largely produced by a class of senior SIAT students enrolled in IAT 443 - Senior Project in Creative Media. The production is a close collaboration with a crew of student artists, animators and technical experts from universities across Canada working with industry partner Edward Madojemu from Runtime Data and Szeka Tse from Red Hydrogen Studio. Utilizing cutting edge technologies, IAT443 provided students with the opportunity to work with StudioSIAT鈥檚 advanced production pipeline and gain valuable industry level experience. This innovative program is just one of many ways that highlights both the creative and technical skills that Canadian students have to offer to a global audience.

Starting on Friday, February 27th at 19:00 PST (22:00 EST / 12:00 JST) Wren and Apollo will each hold their individual debut livestreams on the official Cappuverse 天美mv天美 . Following their debuts is a celebration of the program鈥檚 first anniversary through an exciting collaboration game show with both generations of talent!

Meet our new ambassadors!

About Wren Akane 

Wren Akane is an inquisitorial and hot headed secret agent with a passion for theatrics. Before coming to Earth, Wren undertook many exciting action packed missions in their homeworld while also growing a disdain for the following mountain of paperwork.  After 鈥減arting ways鈥� with their former employer, Wren travelled to Earth and pledged themselves toward a fresh start. 

After arriving on Earth, Wren鈥檚 hunger for knowledge (and employment) led them to 天美mv天美. Discovering their penchant for action and drama translated well into creating media, Wren鈥檚 newly discovered passions for storywriting, animation and visual effects have brought them back to school. Now studying in SIAT, Wren hopes to learn more tools to help them with their dream of making the world鈥檚 coolest film.

About AP0110

Arcane Peacekeeping Unit #0110, or Apollo (AP0110) for short is an advanced owl-like golem construct originally created to help his creator with their research on the nature of a strange world he had become stranded on. Thousands of years after the mysterious disappearance of his creator, Apollo was found deactivated in a cave by a young Wren Akane back on their home world of Avenaria.

Now living on Earth and inspired by the erratic yet inquisitive mind of his creator, Apollo has become a mischievous, overly-analytical power house, with an abundant curiosity of the world around him. He holds a deep admiration for art of all creeds from film, to games and music and deeply researches every piece that inspires him to a fault, even if sometimes he may go a little off the deep end.
