By now, many people in our industry will
have taken a virtual rollercoaster ride. They’re fun, for sure, although
perhaps a little sickening – but there are now far more exciting VR
possibilities waiting to be explored.
Przemyslaw Drosik, CEO and Co-founder of
LocoMotive, is travelling from Warsaw to Thailand to present at ADFEST 2019.
His session will explore the making of "Warsaw Rising" – a cinematic
VR experience, and the first feature film in Poland executed using VR
technology.
Starring almost 60 actors and filmed with
24 cameras, this 17-minute VR experience has everything: explosions, gunshots,
tanks, and a touching plot based on actual events.
‘Warsaw Rising’ has garnered acclaim from
critics all over the world. It’s also won a bunch of awards including the
Honorary Award at Lublin Film Festival for most ground-breaking film.
Drosik will shed light on the production
process and various VR techniques used. From “stereoscopy”, an imaging
technique creating or enhancing the illusion of depth and distance for
binocular vision, to “ambisonic sound”, which lets the viewers experience
immersion, you’ll learn how to create VR films that create the impression of
becoming submerged in the image.
Drosik is the Founder and Co-owner of LocoMotive,
an award-winning post production studio. He’s passionate about the
post-production of cinematic VR experiences, which results in “advanced special
effects in movies and commercials using stereoscopic virtual reality”.
He’s equally passionate about extreme
sports, and is a National Champion of Poland in wakeskating.
