We have 50 world class scripts. Can YOU make one into a short film? Can you make a short film that will deeply move audiences worldwide who watch the final feature film?

In Hollywood, when the movie ends everybody stays and reads the credits. I frequently notice the Story By and Written By credits are not the same.

The most notable issues were: 1. The need to clear the set of equipment and crew. Mics, in particular were problematic at first until we started using lavs. 2. Locating the camera to get the best "shots".
3. Re-blocking the scene to account for the change in camera POV. It was just toe-dipping into the waters of VR narrative filming. We now realise that there will need to be major pre-vis done for the 360/VR film aspects for the next film we tackle this way. As for the usability of the footage, I don't know yet as I have not been involved with any of the editing. What I also wonder about is the likelihood of anyone being prepared to wear a VR headset for a feature's length. Not sure I would with the products I have tried so far. less
