“Shooting Live Action VR Content” (Presented by ICG Local 600)
VR is new medium, but creating live action VR content requires many familiar things—cameras, lighting and grip equipment, workflows, actors and crew, but most of all talent and experience in image making. It follows that there are commonalities between VR and 2D content creation, but there are also times when VR requires a fresh aesthetic, technique and tools.
This session will delve into how to craft visual mood and meaning in VR content, approaches to lighting, new factors in blocking and composition, camera and rig choices, how to maximize acquisition quality within current technical limitations, on-set preview solutions, the role of stereography, and more. Hear from filmmakers steeped in VR about how to go about producing live action content this fledgling new medium.
