VR Storytelling Pitch

Late Saturday, a friend of mine and I visited the Kimmel dining area. We played a game where we tried to guess how drunk various students were around Kimmel. My mind got moving, this is fun to watch in real life, I bet it would be fun in VR too.
The Idea: Have a VR camera act as a silent friend as a they go about their Saturday night in a group, drinking around Syracuse. The idea would be to recreate the feeling of being out with friends. In my own personal experience, you don't even really talk much, so this saves on having to find a convincing group to act as a guide. As the evening progresses from dorm to kimmel, to walking trying to find parties that you won't be let into, there will be intermittent scenes of just audio. Eventually, and I know people have gotten permission to do this before, the idea would be to shoot a final scene in DPS, after one of the audio only scenes ends in sirens.
The Setup: This video would require someone to hold and possible walk with a tripod above their head. Audio would be key to good execution, as would a short camera man.
