It can’t all be work and no play so here’s a few of my favourite side projects.
VR CINEMA - Combining my two biggest passions, film and VR, I am developing a new immersive cinema platform created to free filmmakers from the 2D rectangle and give audiences an exciting new way to experience their favourite blockbusters.
A mix between Secret Cinema and virtual reality attraction The Void, ‘VMAX’ will bring the movies to life with characters, scenery and VFX spilling out of the screen.
I also think there is a huge potential to incorporate brand sponsorships into the platform with rewarding interactive elements.
This project is bigger than I can handle alone, so if you like what you see get in touch.
Here are a selection of concept images I created.
Below are two working demos made from scratch while learning 3D modeling and Unreal Engine.
VR GAMES - I have been hooked on gaming since my trusty 48K ZX Spectrum. For the last few years I’ve been combining VR with haptic feedback bodysuits and motion platforms to give an even deeper sense of immersion.
Here are a couple of VR game concepts I’m currently developing.
DOCUMENTARY - While living in New Zealand I shot, directed and edited a short documentary about a hidden race track on the idyllic Waiheke Island.
The film is still playing in the local Island cinema helping the race club change its perception from a meeting spot for tattooed hellraisers to a welcoming community from all walks of life sharing a common passion for amatuer racing.
MUSIC VIDEO - I was approached by a young rap artist to concept and direct a music video. As usual the pay was a packet of crisps and a Dr.Pepper but who was I to refuse.
The filming, editing and FX work was all done by myself learning as I went.
Watch this space, more to come…
