CFI Podcast: Writing a New Language of Storytelling with Virtual Reality

Chris Dixon and Chris Milk

Posted December 21, 2015

 

Chris Milk calls virtual reality the “ultimate empathy machine.” The filmmaker and founder of VR shop Vrse talks with CFI ’s Chris Dixon about how virtual reality can connect with people in ways no other medium can. Milk describes the ways virtual reality production veers from the traditional techniques of filmmaking, and why the results can transport people to places and feelings that we’ve never experienced — except in the real world. The discussion happened as part of CFI ’s 2015 Academic Roundtable.
