VR Video and Photography: Storytelling by Paul Taggart Prior to shooting my final project over Thanksgiving break, I decided to take the course on Lynda.com entitled VR Video and Photography: Storytelling. When I had filmed my 360 dog park video toward the beginning of the semester, capturing the footage was simple, but telling a story was not. Everything we captured was great, but I was missing a way to tie each shot together into a story that meant something. I didn’t want to make this mistake again, especially since I’d...

I did a 3D model of a small Buddha statue! It came out pretty well, although the face looks a bit flat. Nadia Persaud Assignment #8 by Nadia Persaud on Sketchfab

Keynote file was too large to upload here. I put it on Blackboard instead!

Video link For this assignment, I created an eerie background and had a zombie from Mixamo limping from one bush to the next as the player hides behind a rock and observes. I added a growling sound to the zombie to make the scene a bit scarier. As agreed upon, my deadline has moved to Wednesday instead of Sunday. Thank you!

Video link For this project, I created a fantasy world with a dragon and a troll. I decided to make the dragon move from one mushroom to the next, and I had the troll do the same thing. I used the same trigger to move both the troll and the dragon. For some reason, the troll would move off to the far right even though I selected it to only move between spots 1 and 2. I has a fantasy background sound going, but I included a dragon shrieking sound...

Fantasy world link Scene: For my project, I chose to create a fantasy forest-like world. Initially, I had tried creating an outer space scene with aliens and spaceships but I couldn’t get it to have the same “wonder” aspect as I could with the fantasy world. The aliens and spaceships just looked unanimated and the scene was dull and boring. So instead, I decided to create this mystical realm where dragons, fairies and other magical creatures can roam. To start off, I chose a skybox that has bright blue skies,...

Final video link Original Concept: The scene of my video will be a large, open space with the camera at sitting level. The video will be taken outdoors during the day, and there will be some movement near and far from the camera. I plan on the setting being at an off-leash dog beach in Jamesville. I'll be recording audio of the dogs running around and playing with a separate microphone. I hope to virtually transport the viewer into a stress-relieving environment surrounded by dogs and puppies. It's been scientifically...
