Singer songwriter John Legend gave us All of Me in 2013, and now he’s signing up as executive producer and voice actor in Rainbow Crow, a virtual reality animated film from Baobab Studios.
The project brings together the star power of Legend, who has won ten Grammy Awards, and Eric Darnell, Baobab’s chief creative officer and the director of the Madagascar animated films. But instead of creating another animated film, Baobab is creating an episodic VR experience with Rainbow Crow, which tells a story of selflessness and service in a Native American setting.
The prologue for Rainbow Crow will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival.
“Rainbow Crow brings storytelling and music together in a way no one else has yet in virtual reality. It’s an incredible medium for inspiring a journey of self-discovery and finding your way in times to darkness,” said Legend, in a statement. “In light of what’s going on in today’s world, it’s a message of deep meaning that people from all walks of life can embrace.”
