Mind of Maniac – Tips for Creating a VR Film June 27, 2023

With Meta Quest headsets easily accessible to most consumers, and Apple’s Vision Pro on the way, within a matter of months there will be heavy demand for a specific type of media made for it, 360 3D VR content.

As a person who dabbles in filmmaking, as well as consumed plenty of VR content, I can assure you that making content for Virtual Reality is a very different experience than production for static 2D screens. Headroom is meaningless, lights must be covertly hidden, all four walls of a set must be constructed, and that’s all needed before the camera can even be turned on.

So, if you’ve got your hands on a 360 or 360 3D camera, and you are planing to do something with it. Here are my tips for creating content for VR. Enjoy.
