Ben Harper “Let’s Be Frank” VR
Red Bull provided us unbridled creative freedom to establish new boundaries for what could be accomplished with Cinematic VR. This was the first and only Cinematic VR piece of its kind, captured start to finish at 120fps and brought to life with seamless photoreal VFX every direction you look.
Countless, in-depth nuances bring this narrative full circle and force the viewer to ask some questions along the way… Why are they meeting here? What’s the headline to that newspaper? Why is our lead, Andy, carrying a camera? Why is Josh holstering a gun? What’s on the TV? And on and on…
Dig deeper into the technical challenges we faced fighting 120fps crop sensors, motion control, enormous parallax, and more by watching the 360 VFX Breakdown we’ve whipped together below!
