Just as with virtual reality (VR) videogames, the best chance cinematic VR experiences have at succeeding is for creators to collaborate at this early stage. Oculus VR, for example, opened its Oculus Story Studio film division with the intention of discovering the best practises for VR filmmaking in order to share them with others. To this end another film-focused VR company, Amsterdam-based start-up Purple Pill VR, is today publically releasing the designs for its 360 degree and 360 degree stereoscopic camera rigs.[...]
Future Steps
Next on the list of improvements is eliminating the WiFi remote from the equation by switching to a wired, one-button solution instead of having to rely on shaky wireless connectivity. From now on we will also be filming with an externally powered setup instead of using the internal GoPro batteries. This will enable us to film for several hours straight, and further reduces the chance of overheating the cameras.
If you are curious to see what we can deliver with a camera like this, then you might be interested to hear that we just finished our first major cinematic VR production, together with Arlon Luijten and Emansion, and plan to publicly release this content later this month.
