Soul Control is an innovative multi-media Computer Game creation project from RollingSound
The idea came from two young people, Adam Brown and Steve Mazonis, who were categorised as NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training). After successfully completing a RollingSound computer games design course, they designed Soul Control as a way to reach other disaffected young people and talk about the two key issues they feel most strongly about: gang culture and gun/knife crime.
With the help of a grant from Mediabox work on Soul Control began in December 2007 – with three teams of young people working on the project to design and build the game, film cut-scenes to carry the games story, and compose and record the soundtrack.
Mediabox is a £6 million Department of Children Schools and Families fund to help young people have a positive voice in the media. It offers disadvantaged 13-19 year olds the opportunity to develop and produce creative media projects, using film, television, print, radio or online platforms.
RollingSound run cutting-edge Digital Multimedia courses for young people. We bring tailor-made projects to young people in areas without existing provision. Our tutors are enthusiastic, motivating professionals working in both the Media Industry and at RollingSound.
