Virtual Reality offers a brand new storytelling medium, rooted in classic elements but with its own unique language. This two weekend workshop will not only teach you how to shoot, process, edit, and distribute VR content—it will also teach you how to plan projects that maximize the creative potential of this new form.

Your teacher is Tim Chaffee, one of the VR gurus behind The New York Times's Daily 360 series. Tim has helped create and distribute hundreds of VR experiences that have been viewed by millions of people and he'll share his hard-earned experience, showing you how VR is changing the filmmaking landscape, discussing its many potential applications and challenges, and walking you through advanced post-production workflows.

VR is an art form in its infancy. Creators and early adopters now have an unparalleled opportunity to discover and shape the way this new language is spoken for generations to come.
