Prime Video Teams With Twitch To Turn Popular Creator Into Animated Character From New Series “Fairfax” For Livestream
Inbox
Ahead of the premiere of Prime Video’s newest original animated series Fairfax, the company will, for the first time, team with Twitch on a two-hour livestream where Twitch creator TheBlackHokage will transform into an animated character in the style of the show— essentially becoming a VTuber.
Using custom animation and a 3D AR Facerig, the popular streamer’s moves and expression will be mimicked by his animated doppelganger. Tapping into the streetwear themes within the show fans will get to vote on the various animated hats, hoodies, and accessories TheBlackHokage should wear next. Viewers will use Twitch’s in-stream extensions, specifically its unique interactive Polling and Voting tools, to influence what happens next in the stream. The stream will culminate with a community viewing Watch Party of Fairfax’s first two episodes, hosted by TheBlackHokage.
The stream will take place on 10/29 at 2 pm PST and be viewable on TheBlackHokage’s Twitch channel at twitch.tv/theblackhokage.
