Volumetric Video & Virtual Reality — VR Playhouse
I had the incredible opportunity to film a Virtual Reality interview with the legendary Stan Lee — shot on new cutting-edge Stereo RED Weapons in 8K resolution. The location was Stan's cozy home office above Sunset Plaza, a place filled with the magic of comic book history. Legion Entertainment, the brains behind the project, aimed to immortalize key figures in the comic book industry for future generations to experience in Virtual Reality.
As Technical Director at VR Playhouse, I was tasked with designing the camera system for this special shoot: a stereo pair of RED Weapon 8Ks on an offset nodal rig, with a Cook 14 mm wide-angle lens giving us a large sweet spot. We shot clean plates to capture the whole office, then kept Stan Lee and Kevin Smith center frame so they could be blended into the stitched 360 background.
Stan Lee, accompanied by his wife and daughter, made the experience even more memorable — his warmth and engagement resonated with everyone on set. Typically I'm not on-site during shoots, trusting our Head of Production, DJ, to handle things. This one was a game-changer on multiple fronts, and technically, we needed an extra set of eyes.
