DEMOS
Berkeley Premiere of UTURN by Native VR – Creative Director/Executive Producer NATHALIE MATHE will talk about 360/VR production at 8pm.
What happens when a young female coder joins a male-dominated floundering startup that’s deep in an identity crisis?
With a comedic twist, UTURN is an immersive live-action VR series where you get to experience both sides of the gender divide.
A 360 video Virtual Reality comedy series offering full immersion into the daily life of a woman working in tech. At any time during the story, the viewer chooses which point of view to follow: a female coder or her male boss. It’s like editing your own version of the story. We aim to raise engagement towards gender diversity through this inclusive and fun VR experience.
SNOW ANGEL VR – Debut album experience for Gear VR
Rainbow Rocker Gabby La La and Director Siciliana Trevino joined forces to create their first music video app. Embark on a flower-powered trip through 4 songs from Snow Angel’s debut album available on bandcamp. Thanks to our Kickstarter backers for bringing our first 360 videos to life!
MORE EQUAL STUDIOS – Project Ather
