Keepsake
Original Children's Television Produced at LSU
Keepsake is a new children's television show set in a magical bayou town, featuring all original music. It has already passed 50,000 views on YouTube.
Keepsake is the only children's TV show produced entirely with virtual production, where a real-time digital 3D environment is filmed on an LED volume behind and around the performers, puppets, and scenery. It blends digital and live content into an experience that feels real enough to believe and magical enough to fall in love with.
Narrated by the two main characters, Ollie and Iris, each episode follows a captivating journey to solve a mystery and learn about working together through adversity. The fast-paced storyline engages the audience in problem-solving, situational learning, and discovery. In the end, the two young characters find their way home, having grown up a little along the way.
Keepsake is produced in the XR Studio at LSU, where graduate and undergraduate students work on the performances, designs, digital world, filming and editing, props, costumes, and more in a hands-on, fast-paced production setting.
