Milica Zec's Giant

By researching the lastest work of  the VR director Milica Zec, I found this wonderful video from SVA. Zec and her teammate Winslow Porter shared their production experience of Giant, a VR story that featured in Sundance 2016. They talked about the project from the story inspiration and the technical side of VR filmmaking. 
Here are some technique highlight from the video:

DepthKit

When bringing regular footage into a game engine, the image is flat as a plate. In order to bring a three dimensional illusion, they used a software called DepthKit, to make the footage more of a 2.5D experience. 
They captured the depth data on set, then composite the data afterwards. (Inside Unreal??)

​Photogrammetry

They used Autodesk 123D Catcher to generate 3D models and placed them into Unreal. They claimed the method was money and time saving, and the software is for free!

Interactive Props

They made a special chair that equipped with a low frequency sound vibration speaker underneath the seat, to give the audience the immersive feedback of bombing environment.
