Deadline reported, “Two companies — Minds Eye Entertainment and Sky VR — have produced a scripted, live-action 360 cinematic VR experience tied to the release of the Christina Ricci and John Cusack film Distorted.”
The film will be available in VR. That is amazing. It is really cool that this is a possibility, even now. The questions may emerge about the ways in which this plays out into the future for the movie industry. But for this movie, it is quite interesting.
A VR producer, Travis Cloyd, of the film stated, “Sometimes it’s a challenge. You do have to hide the crew because the audience can see everything and everywhere… You have to make sure everyone is hidden so we have people hiding behind walls and whatever our natural sets allow.”
There was a live-action portion filmed and directed by Rob King. Then actors re-shot the VR camera with further dialogue. It seems like an integration process of the technologies together.
Well, first off, the VR portion was shot immediately after director Rob King filmed the live-action portion. The actors, which also included Brendan Fletcher, then re-shot for the VR camera and with more dialogue. Now, it is not very long. “Distorted Reality is a 10-minute film that is going to be distributed through OneTouch VR on Google Daydream, Oculus Go and Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, and iOs. It will also be available in stereo 3D on various platforms like the Littlstar app on Sony’s’ Playstation VR,” the report said.
