This book is the first in a 3 part series. Part 1: Development/PreProduction; Part 2: Production and Part 3: Post-Production.
Part 1 is a great starting place for anyone considering creating content for VR. It includes things to consider in writing, directing and producing your first Virtual Reality Project.
When we made the leap from traditional filmmaking into VR, we did so on a deadline and working for a client. We did not have time to take a class. We had a quickly growing list of burning questions and very few resources for answering them. This book grew out of that experience.
We hope that if you are jumping into VR for the first time, this book saves you time by giving you an outline of the questions you need to answer about your project as well as some guidance from the field.
It’s the quick reference we wished we had when we said, “Yes, of course, we can produce content for Virtual Reality.”
"I loved this guide to creating VR content which demystified VR and explained it in understandable terms. As a filmmaker, I am always looking for ways to develop my skills and this is an excellent 'How To" book which I recommend not only to people interested in VR, but to all indie filmmakers."

"I loved this book. Great content. Easy to read and digest. I appreciate this resource because it can be challenging to figure out where to start when approaching the idea of indie VR content. At first, I wasn't sure I could do it but this book makes me believe it's possible. Thank you!

"The authors are two time Emmy nominees for their work in VR and when you read this field guide, you’ll know why. Tech heads have VR books for them, but this is the first guide to making VR written in the language of independent filmmakers. If you love making videos but you’ve never made VR and want to try, this book is your bridge. Made by creators for creators, it is as inspiring as it is informative."
