VR13

Take the VR13 Challenge and create your first VR FIlm! THE CONTEST 13 applicants will be selected and invited to participate in the VR13 Filmmaking Bootcamp on 23 September. At the end of bootcamp, applicants will pitch again, this time to live judges, and three will be chosen to make their films over a 13-day period (28 Sept - 10 Oct), during which they will receive a production budget, logistical, technical and creative support, and the chance to compete for a $1300 cash prize. Finished films will be screened live at a series of exclusive Halloween events in Vancouver. WHAT DO YOU SUBMIT A video pitch (3 minutes max) in which you, a) introduce yourself, and b) describe your VR story concept. WHAT SHOULD YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION? Forget the rules, let your mind go nuts, don’t worry so much about plot and think about presence, about being in a moment that terrifies you. Think about what makes your skin crawl. And remember, this is a story, an experience, told in 360 degrees. It’s all around you, in first person. The viewer is in the moment. If thinking about a 360 story literally makes your head spin, don’t worry, the first one is the hardest, so go for it!
