Directing Virtual Reality

Sarah Rothberg / Carol Dysinger

This is a collaboration between Grad Film and ITP.

How does an interesting piece of technology become a tool for making art?

When the Steadicam was invented, it was revolutionary technology, because it was a way to move a camera without laying track. But when Kubrick and the cinematographer who invented it, Garret Brown, got together on The Shining, it began to have a language and a meaning all its own.

In this class, Grad Film directing and cinematography students and ITP students will look at Virtual Reality and experiment with VR storytelling techniques.
