I was at Manuel Ferrara's house 2 days ago and he showed me some mainstream stuff shot with I think it was 16 Go-Pros.
I was like WTF!!!! The scenes were a complete 360 up and down view with no seems.
The 1st clip was the point of view of a diver under water with 3 massive sharks swimming around me.
The came to my left, when I turned around there was another one, when I looked up, I saw one swim over me, when I looked down I saw one swim under me.
I actually am a diver who loves spear fishing and this truly made me feel like I was under water with everything I saw. So impressed!!
The I was in the cockpit of a formula One car. That too was amazing!!
The porn I saw was cool, but nothing like the mainstream stuff I saw.
The porn I saw was a clip of 3 couples. One to my left and right and straight in front of me.
The other clip I saw was a massive orgy scene with a whole lot of stuff going one.
I will defiantly be buying this Oculous Rift thing, but it won't be for porn, it will be for the mainstream stuff that I saw.
On the business side, i have no interest in shooting this stuff for porn.
But I do have a meeting with someone that wants me to head up a mainstream shoot, where I would be capturing the look and feel of the the X-games.
This kind of project peaks my interest a bit if it doesn't effect all of my current porn projects.
VR is not a fad, with the right content it truly can be an amazing experience.
