But are VR and 360 degree video a hype that will soon pass, or can it be used to create a meaningful experience? If it can be meaningful, for what type of projects? And what type of projects can absolutely not be translated into a VR experience?

Each day of the workshop focusses on one of the above topics. And we will explore it by examining how it was dealt with by other artists, as well as hands on experimentation.

The VR Buffet offers different VR Setups, and content to watch, experience, compare and discuss
The goal of this session is to introduce you to the theme of the assignment, Virtual Reality and 360 degree video, and the available tools. After this workshop you will be familiar with the basic proces of recording and viewing a 360 degree video.
Hands on Experiment: As someone working with lens based media, you are used to tell a story by “framing” . A close up, or an overview, and what is left out of the frame etc. all help to convey emotion and direct attention. In a 360 degree panorama this ‘natural’ frame is absent. Think of a way to deal with emotion and attention in 360, and execute that in either an image, or a 360 video of max 30 seconds. <br/>

Thematic Project Seminar 5: ‘Concept and Practice of VR Filmmaking‘ by Brigit Lichtenegger
3-Day seminar
6, 7 and 8 May 2019

Oculus.jpg

In the last years VR has gotten a lot of attention. The tech companies have been pushing hard to make VR affordable for consumers, as well as making it easier to create content for this media. VR in itself is not new and artist have been using technology for the creation of immersive environments throughout history. What is new, is that the potential audience is much larger in numbers, which makes it naturally more interesting to use for artistic expression. But are VR and 360 degree video a hype that will soon pass, or can it be used to create a meaningful experience? If it can be meaningful, for what type of projects? And what type of projects can absolutely not be translated into a VR experience? In this seminar we aim to develop a vision of the medium by exploring its properties and effects. We will focus in particular on the following issues:

  • Place: Where is the border between the physical and the virtual, and where do they overlap?
  • The Body: The tension between immersion and (dis)embodiment
