Hi Esther,
We are Ivan Lee and Amy Ling from BeatIt.
Our project aims to improve the quality of life of dancers by simplifying processes such as reviewing videos or playing back music to practise different parts of the choreography.
How the app will work is that users can import their dance music into the app, which will give them the option to add bookmarks which they can then access while playing the music. Then with a push of a button, users can skip forward or back to the right moment to start practising the choreography.
In addition, users can also choose to overlay a new audio file of choice over their video should the original audio be too muffled or distorted. They can then choose to have the audio synced automatically to the video, removing the need for any wasted effort on the user’s end. This new video with higher quality sound helps dancers focus purely on remembering their steps instead of having to guess which part of the song they are at.
Our app will also serve as a form of visualisation for the different positions that dancers have to take on stage by providing ways for the video to be annotated. These annotations can then be shared with the other dancers as well, providing an effective way for choreographers to give feedback to their dancers.
We plan on using React Native for the frontend and Firebase for our backend databases. We will also make use of Python for signal processing and libraries such as FFmpeg for video processing.
We believe that your rich experience in visual design and strong focus on improving user experience will be a huge asset to our project, which caters to users from quite a niche demographic. Having a smooth user experience is a major focus for our project, since our main goal is to reduce the friction faced by dancers in their practice sessions.
We hope that you will consider mentoring us and providing us with some of your invaluable insights!
Thank you!
