Above and Beyond � Was tired of CGI “simulated realism” � Jeff Turley and Patrick Osborne took time off Disney for a short called Pet, made in Maya with flat color on 3 D geometry. � They were pulled onto Paperman, started by John Kars � Worked with Brian Whited to make Meander, software to combine 2 D and 3 D animation.

Spotlight � Patrick Osborne got the idea for Feast after taking one-second video of dinner for a year. � Feast was his first time writing and directing. � “Google … look[s] to VR as the next major computing platform. ” They sponsor a collection of virtual reality creations, “to show off what’s possible. ” Google Spotlight Stories took on Pearl. � “He and his team created the work in Autodesk’s Maya software. ”

Dealing with Disorientation �First to produce virtual animated reality with hard cuts � Used the car as a “visual anchor” �First to produce virtual animated reality with both diegetic and non-diegetic sound �Challenged to keep a stylistic look in 360 �Challenged by display on different devices � Computer, mobile, and VR headset

Framing � “Letting the audience control the composition is crazy, but I kind of cheated that, having some car windows that you can compose with” � “In VR, you have to come up with answers to questions you've never asked before. …‘What if people look away? ’ in a film … they'll miss that scene. Whereas here, you need sound to create what I call a "sonic horizon" that allows people to orient. It's a big problem in VR, feeling disoriented. So that means that stereo music basically has to go away. We had to do a mix that was spherical”
