VIRTUAL REALITY FILM SET

advised by Alexey Marfin

with Abeeha Abid, Jonathan L. Ong, Bianca Hernandez, Kate Stuteville, and Yizhan Zhong

Virtual Reality Film Sets explores the intersection of cinema, architecture, and technology, where physicality, space, and geography is being distorted and manipulated. The goal of the course is to expand the experience of cinematic scene beyond flat screen, with the new technology Virtual Reality. The course develops a reimagination of a movie scene in a 360-degree environment that is reproduced through photorealistic 3D rendering and VFXs. The project explores the multiplicity of scale that can coexist in a built-world. The project disorients the viewers’ perception of scale: sometimes they exist in the scale of the club, but sometimes they are part of a miniature in another miniature.
