The video I choose is a music video by Beatie Wolfe of her single “As You”. The video takes on youtube’s format for VR videos and you can navigate in any direction you want as the video plays. The scenes change and you can explore the transforming landscapes. I’m familiar with the youtube’s VR format, but previously I haven’t been a fan of the interaction. There’s no zoom button, so the user is stuck moving left to right and it’s difficult to get a picture of the entire scene. Wolfe’s video was beautiful and I really enjoyed this one scene where the constellations move to the rhythm of the music. I like how they kept the visuals simple, so the VR can really shine. This helped convince me that there is a way for youtube VR videos to look amazing and I also want to see if there’s better ways of implementing this.
