Filmmakers Lab (Peer-to-Peer Session)

'October’s Peer-to-Peer session will showcase Robin Mudge’s (BBC, Chanel 4, Digital Slate) pioneering and film centred work in VR. Telling stories using 360-degree spherical video poses some interesting problems. What Robin wants to share with us is a relatively low cost way of creating content that delivers the best of VR & allows the use of our established narrative storytelling techniques.'
