FILM COMMENT'S SELECTIONS FOR BEST FILMS OF 2018


 FILM COMMENT'S SELECTIONS
BEST FILMS OF 2018

Film Comment has just announced its selections for best films of the year! 

 Surprisingly, perhaps, ROMA, which has received a lot of attention and praise from many sources (and will be available on NETFLIX shortly), was only number 4 on their list.

 As a magazine for international(!)  film lovers, it is not surprising that many of the films on the Film Comment list are indie and foreign films.

 Interestingly, looking forward to the future, there is a second list: the best films that have appeared in film festivals this year, but that have not yet been released.

WE'RE TESTING 3D 360 VR VIDEOS ON THE WEB!


BETA TESTING
3D 360 VR VIDEOS ON WEBVR

 Our first group of videos we call
INTERVUZE

3D 360 VR VIDEO
INTERVIEWS
SHOT WITH THE VUZE CAMERA

 More videos, including a new VR narrative short video are coming...  here to webVR!


 We've been developing a webVR site to display 3D 360 VR videos: This is a BETA! (maybe even alpha and a half). 

3D 360 - These videos  should work in 3D 360 using the Oculus or Samsung browser on Oculus Go. (They will not work using the Firefox Reality browser). It may require a click with the TRACKPAD (and possibly the trigger) and a refresh to start playing. 

2D 360 - They will most likely work as 2D 360 videos with Chrome or Firefox on a desktop.  They may not work using Edge. 
(Yes, webVR is still inconsistent and hard to use, 
but it will be GREAT! when it matures.)


FILM:
Here's a BETA! version of my{*} HIFF 2017 interview with Alison Chernick, director of last year's terrific opening night film ITZHAK! in 3D 360 VR on BETA! webVR. 
3D 360 VR INTERVIEW FROM HIFF 2017 WITH ALISON CHERNICK


THEATER:
Here's a BETA! version of my 2018 interview with Gene Fisch, Jr,  director of the New York New Works Theatre Festival on BETA! webVR. 

3D 360 VR INTERVIEW FROM NY NW TF 2018 WITH GENE FISCH, JR


THEATER:
Here's a BETA! version of my 2018 interview with Emily Penick, a panelist and the director of a show at the New York New Works Theatre Festival on BETA! webVR. 

3D 360 VR INTERVIEW FROM NY NW TF 2018 WITH EMILY PENICK


XR TECH:
Here's a BETA! version of my 2017 interview with Jim Malcolm, describing the VUZE camera, at the NYVR EXPO 2017 on BETA! webVR. 

3D 360 VR INTERVIEW FROM NYVR EXPO 2017 WITH JIM MALCOLM


{*}Note: in all these videos, "my" = Eric from QPORIT's.

All these INTERVUZE were shot live, "wild", on location, with the VUZE camera.
