Revolutionising education through film

Revolutionising education through film

Our revolutionary system has the power to transform the outdated education system, positioning New Zealand as a global leader in reimagining learning through film and cinema.

While filmmakers like Lucas, Spielberg, and Scorsese are making strides in educational storytelling, our approach is distinct - rooted in the wisdom of Indian mystics who have spent decades refining a methodology that focuses on one essential element often overlooked in today’s systems: knowing oneself.

We've created a new genre called 'Edutainment' - a major leap forward for both education and film. Education should go beyond rigid notions of right and wrong. It must balance spiritual wisdom, artistic vision, scientific inquiry, and practical application. Films are uniquely capable of fostering openness by featuring characters who explore diverse perspectives. For instance, one character might view Columbus as a hero, while another sees him as a villain. Similarly, the origin of the universe can be interpreted through both scientific and spiritual lenses, and our films encourage viewers to explore both.

Current VR films fall short; they disrupt the essential linear narrative structure that underpins effective filmmaking. By giving the audience too much control over the narrative, the experience can feel aimless, weakening engagement. When directors lose the ability to guide the viewer's focus, the cohesion and impact of the story suffer.

To address this challenge, and preserve the director's narrative control while incorporating VR, we've developed an innovative method called Ob-Ex. This approach seamlessly combines Observation (immersing viewers in a 3D narrative) and Execution (allowing them to interact at pre-set moments in VR).

By harnessing cinema's ability to evoke awe through 3D viewing and channelling it into immersive VR learning, the Ob-Ex film seamlessly switches between Observation and Execution. This fluid transition deepens engagement, turning awe into accelerated mastery and creating a powerful platform for enhanced learning.

The Ob-Ex Method may be new to film, but it's a natural way we learn as toddlers - by observing and imitating others to master essential skills like walking and talking. This approach is one of the fastest ways to learn, enabling us to adapt and refine our responses throughout life. For example, if our grandfather took us out to the field to fix the tractor, he might share a story about when he first learned these mechanical skills. By weaving the lesson into a personal narrative, he makes the learning experience both practical and inspirational.

We are launching the Ob-Ex Edutainment System with music, one of the most beloved subjects. Directed by an A-list filmmaker, Polymath is a VR/3D sci-fi fantasy that teaches music fundamentals - scales, chords, music reading, composition, and playing songs - using our patent-pending technology.

Over the past two decades, our Mastertude Music Education System has successfully taught more than 10,000 students, earning letters of appreciation from universities and government bodies. We've set new benchmarks by enabling students to achieve music diplomas in a few months - what typically takes 8 -10 years - using proprietary techniques unknown even to advanced musicians.

POLYMATH SYNOPSIS:

The Map of Existence; a yantra (mystical symbol), visually encapsulates the entire Polymath narrative across 11 realms. It outlines the nature of existence and an individual's place within it, providing each character with direction, purpose, influence channels, vulnerabilities, and after-death assemblings. Central to this story is Mu, who joins the radical Polymath Order. This clandestine group has unravelled the secrets of math, music, consciousness, and tantra, invented a frequency machine, and established Ashram laws to safeguard their esoteric wisdom from a conventional world intent on their destruction.

In Polymath, music education holistically encompasses different aspects: science delves into frequency and vibration, revealing how mathematically dissonant intervals shape scales, chords, and harmonies; art pushes boundaries by encouraging the breaking of these rules to inspire innovation; in spirituality, music is seen as vibrations through which the soul communes with higher realms, harmonizing with the divine order of creation, as expressed in Pythagoras' concept of the "harmony of the spheres," and the Vedic principle of Nada Brahma; then the practical application comes in mastering the technical skills needed to play music effortlessly.

Polymath spans two films and three games, ultimately leading to a diploma from the accredited St. Cecilia Music Board:

Film 1: Polymath: The Map of Existence - teaches two years of music on the piano

Film 2: Polymath: The Residual Realms - covers fundamentals of guitar and drums

Topas Game: builds on Film 1, offering four more years of music

Emerald Game: provides six years of music teaching

Jade Game: completes the curriculum with 8-10 years of music education, culminating in diploma certification.

Following Polymath, Mastertude will produce thirty-four additional Ob-Ex movie-series that cover a wide range of subjects and skills. For example, we will explore medical science through a series called Asclepius and law through one titled Prudence. These films will showcase the diverse temperaments of brilliant lawyers and skilled surgeons in 3D narratives designed to inspire a thirst for knowledge, while executing learnings in VR.

Built on deep wisdom, years of experimentation, and thought, our system is poised to shape the future of education.

This sounds fantastic! I’m a long-time believer in the power of narrative in teaching and feel like it’s been continually under exploited. I’d be really interested to see how this all comes to fruition!
