G+_George Kozi Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 thoughts? Originally shared by George Kozi The trouble with 360 videos. If a video has any action in it, or a story to tell, 360 sucks. Action and story only work if there is a director who decides "now you look here, now you look at that, and after you should turn to that thing over there". And the director also cuts to closeups, and different angles to make a point Without that, there is no story, and you can miss all the action because you were fascinated by somebody's shoes... Not to mention that you must mouse all the time, searching for something interesting to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jim T Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I'd hesitate to state things so strongly, it might well be true, but we're in the very early stages of the format. It's certainly true that the way we tell stories with fixed view doesn't seem to translate to 360, that doesn't mean there aren't other ways. directors are still searching for their basic vocabulary, and a few things are coming through, like view triggered actions, etc. I think it's still early, maybe the stories we'll get will just be told inn a different way, I don't think that's a bad thing.

G+_zyga zyga Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yeah for most movies, scripted TV I don't think 360 will catch on. for like reporter's or news, events(concerts, sports), stuff with audiences, where there is 360 degree of action I think it would work great.

G+_Dave Trautman Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It didn't take long for D.W. Griffith to "invent" editing in order to expand the scope of storytelling with early movies. Somewhere in the next decade a whole new approach to using 360° viewing will usher in another completely new entertainment experience. We may have to wait for the visual interface to be removed and tap directly into the visual cortex, but the experiential story will seem like Alice's visit to Wonderland when it establishes itself. We may relate to it more like a dream state than a narrative story. We will be exposed to "impressions" of things happening around us with auditory and visual cues (along with some other tactile stimulations) and we may find it requires us to immerse ourselves into a "full metal jacket" so to speak in order to allow us to "feel" as if we are moving (when in fact we are not). When you look at the innovations being done by people like Emmanuel Lubezki working with Alfonso Cuarón, or the collaboration of Lubezki with Alejandro G. Iñárritu and you're getting close to the kind of "story" structure which might apply to this new wrap around kind of viewing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_George Kozi Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Dave Trautman I think that enormous sets where all the actors act all the time will be needed... and a system where the sound automatically zeroes in very close to whatever you look at... so everybody would wear microphones...
