22 January 2017Oculus House At Sundance - VR for Good PremiereAfter months of post work, the 9 VR projects we worked on in our partnership with Oculus premiered at Sundance. For each of the 9 projects, Oculus paired a non-profit with a rising film maker to make a VR film bringing a variety of social missions to life. The projects used several different VR cameras—Nokia Ozo, GoPro Odyssey, Freedom 360, underwater GoPro—and we did all of the online stitching and final conforms.

April 2016Hilton Barbados 360 videoIn January, we spent 5 days in Barbados shooting a 360 video for the Hilton resort. The shoot took us to some amazing locations. There are 2 componets to this project. The first is a marketing video to be released to the normal VR capable platforms, but the second is for a unique installation. A custom coin operated style viewfinder was built to house a Gear 360 headset to be placed in a Chicago train station in the middle of winter. Looking through the viewfinder takes the viewer to the beach of the Hilton Barbados resort. The message is simple—You could be here!
