Jim Watters: Camera operator, cinematographer and director of photography in Saint John, Canada.

The first VR Cinema meetup was held Oct2. Some great speakers discuss 360° stereoscopic 3D video that is viewed in head mounted displays like the Oculus Rift. I think in particular, Total Cinema 360, had some great points. https://air.mozilla.org/vr-cinema-meet-up/ VR Cinema has it limitations and advantages. It will never replace traditional film. But the sense of immersion when watching a full spherical S3D film with a HMD is the best I have ever experienced. What do you think about VR Cinema?

For example, would the shots have to be longer, and even the scenes, lest the viewer not become disoriented by all the transitions? Would alternative endings be shot because a viewer could pick from alternatives on a virtual panel while watching the film? Could such a thing even be called a film? There would be no screen, or would there be, at least at first? Maybe the transition within the technology would be from virtually being the only person in a theatre watching a virtual AMAX screen to being "in" the scenes that are in 360 degree and above and below too.

I am a photographer, software developer, image manipulator, photo creator, and panorama guru & evangelist, that is now pursuing an endeavor to create 360° 3D interactive panoramic movies to be watched with head mounted displays like the Oculus Rift. I have created a multisensor 360° stereoscopic 3D camera rig and looking for a short script to showcase the technology. I am a beginner in film making but recently joined a local Film CoOp. Joined Stage32 yesterday. Current thought is a single room, one act, production with 5 to 7 actors and the camera setup in the center with many interactions and exchanges that the viewer will want to watch several times to catch everything. Interested in connecting with anyone in immersive or VR video.
