Storytelling in VR
We went along to to hear Mike Jones explain how to construct, develop and create stories in virtual reality environments
Hive members were lucky enough to attend the “Concepts of Narrative VR with Mike Jones” masterclass hosted by the New Zealand Film Commission in Dunedin’s creative co-working space Petridish.
Part of the NZ Film Commission’s GPS 2026 series, the event was introduced by their Head of Talent Development (and BAFTA-nominated Director) Dale Corlett.
What made this session different to any other was its focus, not so much on the technology of VR that we’re used to hearing, but instead on the creativity required to make such projects a success.
