As technology is evolving, so is the way we tell stories. Virtual Reality is becoming more and more accessible and storytellers are experimenting with it. Storytelling and VR might be the perfect match. Still, some people in the industry find it hard to believe that watching films on the Oculus Rift is going to be successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pixar co-founder Ed Catmull is one of those skeptics about movies in Virtual Reality (VR): “It\u2019s good, but it\u2019s not storytelling. The fact that you\u2019ve changed the technology, and people are excited about it, doesn\u2019t change the underlying difficulty of the compelling narrative story,” he stated in an interview with the Guardian<\/a>. “Linear narrative is an artfully-directed telling of a story.” So… a virtual reality movie cannot be an artfully-directed telling of a story?<\/p>\n\n\n\n I disagree. It’s a new way of storytelling and despite a few difficulties, it enables a lot of new possibilities. It’s the immersive factor that can make you feel even more present, more involved. The absence of distraction is another advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Pursuit of Happiness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
