What movies would you create for Virtual Reality?

[Marianna]

Hallo!

I have read in previous posts that VR is an immersive simulation that could be a great fit for horror films. I was also thinking how incredible it would be to watch an immersive documentary, even though it would be more difficult to make a documentary about a WW2 scenario without using CGI and digital 3D models. I would imagine, however, putting on my headset and step into the Amazon rainforest or into the Savanna and finding out about the wild life in a safely manner that will leave no negative impact on it and would not endanger my life as well.

What I believe would be easier to create in VR are movies that promote tourism. I live in Berlin, it would be easier for me to create a film and to showcase the major touristic attractions in an immersive way and someone from UK, USA (or some other part of the world) could put on the headset and enjoy the show. Such films are already being made and showed on the main television but they are not made for virtual reality and the experience is not so immersive. I could also use my imagination and create a story to engage the audience, not just show the places and talk like a guide about them. Just like detective “Lupin” is promoting beautiful places in France, especially in Paris. Of course, I would not have the budget or means to create something this big but I could start with a short film.

I actually enjoyed watching how Lupin was walking around Paris and other places in his adventures. I do not know if there is a character similar to Lupin in Germany but you can also get creative and write an engaging script. 😀 If you start this project, keep us updated! I will be one of your viewers!

Thank you for the support, Maura! Much appreciated!

I don’t think anyone else had this idea before. Sure, many people have ideas to promote popular venues and areas but none of them actually goes the extra mile to create a story around them and add characters.

[Marianna]

Yes!

It won’t be easy and you will need some additional gear to get started. However, it will be worth it! 😀

[Marianna]

Nothing that is worth it is easy. Maybe I can borrow some equipment from my school. I don’t know if they have any equipment for filming VR movies yet but it doesn’t hurt to ask 😀

That is not a bad idea, Marianna! After a long day of work, when I am tired, I watch Turkish TV Shows because I love the landscapes and the scenery. I would watch a VR movie or TV Show which shows beautiful places, it is very relaxing. Sometimes, all you want to see is a nice view and it is easier to do with technology than to actually travel there.

Travelling movies are a good idea and not so difficult to create. I would create psychological movies, where you can feel like the character, understand his background and use your empathy to see why he is the way he is. It could be used to raise awareness of various mental illness and their cause, what triggers them and maybe even provide a few options that could help to heal. It would be very difficult to create such content of course but there are many TV shows that approach this topic and they are real life changers.
