“A world of possibilities limited only by your imagination.” This was the creative technology captured by director Ryan Simon and production company Strike Anywhere when asked by Melcher Media to team up with Philip Rosedale and his VR company High Fidelity. Together they created the short film “Rebuilding Reality” for the fifth-annual Future of StoryTelling (FoST) Summit, a two-day, invitation-only gathering of 500 people held in New York City.
Philip Rosedale is the founder and creator of High Fidelity, a pioneering software platform that allows people to experience shared VR in real-time. The Strike Anywhere team was tasked with the challenge of introducing FoST attendees to the High Fidelity technology via the keenly immersive method of capturing Philip discussing his work from within the technology. Being that the means to actually record experiences in VR environments hasn’t been developed yet, the team came up with a creative fix. Rather than shoot the activity on 2D screens, they decided to enter the virtual worlds and capture what they saw in real-time.
