When you’re watching a film on a screen, that fourth wall between you and the story actually helps you suspend your disbelief and emotionally fall into that story. There’s nothing out there yet that can do this, and I believe one of the critical elements that keeps getting overlooked is the emotional connection between an audience and the fictional characters of the story. Yes, there are some powerful 360 video documentaries out there, and some immersive stories told with gaming engines are clever and enjoyable, but nothing I’ve experienced yet comes close to what I’m after: I’m looking for a well-written story, set in a completely immersive virtual world, using cinematic techniques of design, music, sound, and light, with meaningful, believable, and emotional performances from actors. I’ve watched and experienced many stories told using all varieties of Virtual Reality technology, and to me, they mostly come up short. However, to date, the results have been underwhelming. And as virtual reality technology became available to filmmakers, many of us have been experimenting to see what is possible with this exciting new toolset. ![]() I’ve had a lifelong obsession with wanting to not just watch a film, but experience it, from inside the magical world of the story. Hello everyone! I’m Jason Moore, I call myself a cross-platform visual storyteller since I write, direct, and produce in film, single and multi-camera television, theater, and emerging media. ![]() It will be a long and amazing journey inside VR storytelling.īefore leaving him the mic, I want to suggest you fund The MetaMovie project on Kickstarter, so that it can become a reality. ![]() To discover more this cool project, I have contacted Jason Moore, the mind behind MetaMovie, that will give you a long description of it. Furthermore, the MetaMovie starts with interactivity in mind and this means that the viewer becomes completely part of the story and can interact with it. This is more complicated to be organized (exactly as organizing a show in a theater is far more difficult than projecting a movie in a cinema) but has the advantage that is able to create a real bond between the actor and his/her viewer. What is really interesting of MetaMovie is that it mixes this with theater: the characters of the story you are immersed in are not simple recordings, but are actors performing live just for their audience.
