Join BIG for the fist Public VR Lab Meetup! FRONTLINE has kindly agreed to speak about their VR process and share FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY some of their immersive journalism projects.
Brookline Interactive Group (BIG) is sponsoring this event at their innovative community media space in Brookline. Join BIG for libations and noshing, conversing about the future of the public Commons in VR, and try VR experiences on BIG's multiple HTC VIVE VR headsets/controllers.
FRONTLINE Series coordinating producer Carla Borrás and production assistant Kenzie Audette will talk about FRONTLINE’s foray into virtual reality and some of the lessons learned along the way. They'll share behind the scene stories from the filmmakers, some of the challenges FRONTLINE has faced pioneering high-end VR journalism (Night of the Storm, Return to Chernobyl, On the Brink of Famine, Ebola Outbreak), and some tips for creating 360 films.
