IMMERSIVE MEDIA

Immersive film making is an incredible way for viewers to experience and interact with people and ideas. With the rising popularity of extended reality through the use of the XR headsets and mobile devices, it is now easier than ever for an audience to feel the presence of a performance or scene through immersive media.

A collaboration between Scatter and the Museum of the Moving Image, ‘Tales in the Holoverse’ is a project that reimagines oral storytelling as a virtual, 3D experience and presents new possibilities for the future of the moving image.

AYIA ‘Easy’

To create a unique visual style representing the point of view of a mysterious monolith, director Salomon Lighthelm and VFX house Artjail required volumetric performances of the actors and dancers on location. This allowed them to match and intercut performances and environments through both filmic and digitized perspectives.

The Ancient Narrative - Adam and Eve - the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil - the Forbidden Fruit - that Tempting Icon. The promise of connection and transcendence. But it’s a mirage at best - corrupting and distorting - yet with unknowable power over us - in it’s attraction and it’s promise of how it might enrich our lives. It’s a bad replica - and today with everything that’s happening around us, we are extremely aware of its deficiencies - it’s inability to replace the REAL. What we crave - it can’t fully give us. Connection and transcendence has to be experienced in the seen, felt and heard of real human contact. Produced By...... All Expanded, Section80 Executive Produced By......

As part of this year's Cannes Lions, we worked with the team at Procter & Gamble to produce two VR projects that highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion within the creative industry. The first of two projects, which have female directors and diverse teams, 'Drip Drop.'

DRIP DROP

Made in collaboration with Chromista and Novelab, the experience reveals the stories of four individuals who didn’t “see themselves” in the creative industry, yet took action to great effect. The experience begins in a mysterious void where digitized versions of four people are floating. Viewers can bring each person to life by blinking, thus prompting an interview describing the adversity each has faced in the creative community.

The International Spy Museum
Cyber Infinity Room

Created with design studio Gallagher and Associates for the International Spy Museum in Washington D.C., the mirrored Infinity Room installation depicts the limitless expanse of cyberspace, and features interviews with cybersecurity experts on the methods that modern intelligence agencies use to combat cyber warfare.

Two showings this Friday 8.31 at 7pm BST and 7pm PST Watch the live stream from Imogen's page: https://www.facebook.com/imogenheap/ Grammy award-winning recording artist and music technology innovator Imogen Heap and TheWaveVR have teamed up to create a first-of-its-kind immersive music performance. Imogen Heap is centered on a live holographic experience where Imogen performs a series of songs including an unreleased Frou Frou track and an entirely new mix of “Hide and Seek.” Recorded by TheWaveVR, and debuting on its platform, the performance takes place at Imogen’s home studio in London. To record Imogen’s likeness, TheWaveVR worked with volumetric capture company Depth Kit which created a virtual version of Imogen’s home where visitors can experience breathtaking visuals as environments which evolve to the sounds of the music. The show will be available globally on Steam and Oculus Home through TheWaveVR’s free app, on Steam and Oculus Home, and will be broadcast live on TheWaveVR and Imogen Heap’s Facebook pages. The experience premieres Friday, August 31 at 7:00 p.m. BST, with a second showing at 7 pm PST.

The WaveVR: Imogen Heap

Musician, producer, and technologist Imogen Heap teamed up with social music platform The WaveVR to create the world’s first volumetric concert. Shot on location at Imogen’s house, the show takes you into the an intimate environment where you can sing along, dance, or just listen with other live viewers. Featured in The Verge’s video series “The Future of Music, Episode 1”.

Made This Way:
Redefining Masculinity

Director Elli Raynai takes photographer Irem Harnak’s series on transgender artists to a new level by presenting them and their artwork in a virtual gallery. Viewers can listen to the artists as they describe their art, transisions, and relationships with masculinity in a beautifully curated space.

Queerskins explores the dynamic tension between the “real” and the virtual, fact and fiction, memory and desire through a compelling, character-driven narrative. The story revolves around a complex relationship between a devoutly Catholic mother and her gay son who dies of AIDS. Queerskins explores the quintessentially human desire to transcend ordinary reality through memory, belief and imagination.

Queerskins:
a love story

Creators Illya Szilak and Cyril Tsiboulski tell the story of an emotionally-charged conversation between grieving parents as they drive through the rural Missouri landscape. With a meticulous level of detail, the experience was created by combining volumetric, computer-generated, and 360-degree video elements to make the viewer viscerally feel as if they are in the car eavesdropping on the conversation.

Blackout VR

Created in-house by Scatter, the makers of volumetric capture software Depthkit, “Blackout” explores the lives of real-life passengers on the New York City subway. Viewers are able to freely roam around the subway car and listen to the thoughts of passenger from the most diverse of backgrounds.
