Assignment 2 – Ryan Kehr

The Scene The scene will start in a kitchen where I will be preparing food for a Super Bowl party. I will have the help of my sous chefs to complete the cooking process for the party. the scene will then switch to a living room. In this living room will be a bunch of people who are watching the Eagles vs Patriots in the Super Bowl. We will show some big plays that happened during the game including touchdowns, controversial plays, and missed opportunities. We will also be showing...

Assignment 2: Kyle Desiderio

Our group’s idea was to record a traditional college Super Bowl party, from start to finish.  The Super Bowl has always been an classic “American” holiday, and we felt we could tell a compelling story from the event.  We started out in the kitchen, where Ryan (our cook) would run around the kitchen getting the necessary ingredients to make his Super Bowl meal; chicken wings, macaroni and cheese, etc.  We placed the camera at normal-height level in the middle of the kitchen, so the viewer could see Ryan running around...

Assignment 2 – 360 video pitch – Erin Qiu

I’m thinking of creating a video that is about what color blind people see in their daily lives; color correct 180 degree of the video into the opposite color of what color blind people see and leave the color of another 180 degree as it is (this is just my individual idea).   Team video: Super Bowl Position of the camera: The camera is placed between TV and a sofa. Purpose: Typical American Super Bowl Event (Party) Super Bowl and people’s reactions to it will be recorded.   I assume...

Assignment: 360 video pitch

Jack and I mutually agreed to shoot a choreographed ice hockey practice session with two or three players. We thought this was a good idea for a few reasons. Firstly, it will be a fun experience for those who are not accustomed to the game because it will transport viewers to an actual ice ring. Secondly, considering the essence of VR, this video will provide an immersive experience as it will require the viewer to follow the hockey players around the ring. This will keep the viewer occupied and he...

Assignment 2: Ariel Wang

For my 360 video, I am planning to bring the VR user into a painting class at the Shaffer Art Building. This would be inside a large painting studio, with multiple student painters working. If the permission is granted by the professor and the model, I would like to record the video on the day the students are painting a nude model. I would place the camera at different angles so the viewer can experience the different elements of a painting session. Some angles will include: The perspective of the nude model....

Assignment 1 – VR Experience – Brian Shantz

Coming into this class, I have had several different experiences with VR, with all of them taking place in a variety of settings. I have seen VR set up as activations at several different music festivals, with my first experience being at Firefly Music Festival in 2016. While there they had demonstrations set up where users could try on several different headsets and pick from a number of experiences to try out. I chose a demo where I was a paddle boarder going down a river. What struck me most...

Assignment 1- VR Experience- Tania Joseph

Virtual Reality is a different way to tell compelling stories and allow people to experience nearly anything. I love how through VR we are able to experience cultures and places. I've always seen VR gear commercials but never had the opportunity to experience it for myself. My first VR experience was Project Syria by Nonny de la Pena.  It was a very powerful piece and hearing the gunshot then seeing the aftermath was an unexplainable feeling. I really like how Nonny shed light on an issue incorporating journalism into VR.  This...

Assignment 1: Ariel Wang

Although I didn't experience a lot of VR simulations in the past, all of the experiences I did have were positive ones. I think the reason why I didn't seek out to use VR a lot is that it is a very over-stimulating experience. So even though the novelty of it would be mind-boggling and fun, it isn't an experience I would do very often. One of the simulations I've tried in the past is the Dreams of Dali 360 video. It was nothing like the other real-time 360 video's I've seen in the...

Assignment 1 – Maxwell Nelson

Although this was not my first experience with virtual reality, it was my first time using the Oculus Rift. I thought it was interesting getting to try out the Oculus First Contact demo and see how the controls compared to those of other virtual reality devices I have used previously. In my opinion, the controllers for the HTC Vive are better suited for an experience where you can't see the controller. I also got to try the Gear VR and found that to be a great way to experience 360...

Assignment 1 – Ryan Kehr

The first class that we had was the first time that I have used VR for an extended period of time. At first, the feeling was strange, it was like being transported to a new world. Honestly one of the first things that I thought about was about how others who were looking at me were thinking. Spinning around in a chair, looking all around the room. I didn't play any games using the VR, I watched a story called "Invasion". I really enjoyed the short story that they were telling and...
