Jan 27, 2016 New Format, New App
VR is now on the news feeds daily. Whether it will catch on or if it will fail and be thrown back to the drawing board is up for debate. But there is hope, as there is VR in gaming, VR in the healthcare industry, and now VR film. Oculus brought concepts and shorts to Sundance this year. With it came Dear Angelica an upcoming animated short that can be watched on the Rift VR headset.
For Dear Angelica Oculus worked with the illustrator Wesley Allsbrook to create a new method to produce the film. A typical method would have been to create the project in 2-D and have it scanned in and made into a VR atmosphere. This time around, the Oculus team produced a tool for Wesley Allsbrook to draw within the VR world. This is a new exciting format that I’m sure many artists will want to get their hands on in the future.
