Differing Views On VR Cinematography Emerge at HPA Tech Retreat
February 23, 2016
Steve Schklair, CEO of 3D firm 3ALITY and founder of VR production company 3mersiv, observed that much of VR is still being defined. While elements are emerging, “this medium needs a language,” he said, noting that traditional filmmaking techniques and concepts–like framing of a shot and interpreting a shot through camera moves–don’t necessarily apply to VR production. In this vein, Schklair assessed, “For cinematographers, I’m not sure where the art is. At this point I would say VR is a storyteller’s medium but not a cinematographers medium.”
