Description
Cinema, architecture, and technology have always existed in unison - distorting and manipulating space, physicality, and geography. Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" meticulously re-built the Overlook Hotel thousands of miles away in a British film studio, and Luc Besson's "Leon" seamlessly cut interiors filmed in Paris with exteriors filmed in New York to create a hybrid city. Today, the movie experience is expanding beyond the flat screen, with new technologies of Virtual Reality and immersive media. In this seminar we will take movie scenes from the pre-digital era, and re-imagine them as 360-degree Virtual Reality environments. We will learn photorealistic 3D rendering in 360 degrees, using VFX-industry workflows.
