360 Filmmaking for Large Format Screens: Horizon: A 360 Journey

Horizon: A 360° Journey is a live action 9K dome & VR film celebrating Canada’s 150th anniversary. In this talk Tom C. Hall (REDLAB), the 360 Supervisor, will cover the post-production of making this film a reality: through 9 months of shooting, early experiments, discoveries, trials and tribulations and forging the language of this new format. We will cover lessons learned on keeping a huge pipeline under control, from multi Red Dragon camera arrays, to dome theatre edit suites and compositing a huge format into a seamlessly stitched image that can be enjoyed in every direction. We will also cover the unique differences of being fully enclosed in a real projected image, and as HMDs get wider field of views how it will affect the future of the medium.

This talk is targeted to anyone from post-production professionals to emerging filmmakers who want to learn the lessons and experiences of making a long form immersive project.
