Hi guys, I would like some thoughts on a idea I had. Imagine a movie where in certain scenes you can move around the camera and watch it from where you want to. This would be done in VR. This idea would come with many complications but it could be the future of films. I would just like some thoughts on it. Thanks.

Well to look at a certain scene from basically anywhere you would need a shit ton of cameras, but you could set up a stationary camera at a certain place(like a big room, for example) and let the viewer examine the place and stuff.
But VR cameras still do not give that ultimate cinema experience so if I were to watch a movie in VR it would be a pretty bad experience
so VR cameras still have some road to go
but it could be something like this: https://youtu.be/hiHZWeeoEUg they, from what I read, used more than 100 cameras to shoot this( even though it looks shitty, it is something).So if people do certain stuff like this it is possible but it is still hard to do

the future is video games melding with cinema to create interactive VR scenarios where you, the player, have to take acting lessons and speak all the lines of dialogue into a microphone while traversing your way through sets as you do, blurring the line between protagonist and viewer, actor and audience completely
if you cant give a convincing acting performance you cant progress through the story. Everyone will have to be Brando
the future is a battle between the Brandos and the Can'tdos

Yeah this is a good point but I was thinking if scenes were created in a fully 3D digital environment then you would be able to have a Digital movable camera.

The future is AI. We'll train AI on models based on a directors filmography so we can make films in their styles. We'll type "a Tarantino film about stuffed animals coming to life at an orphanage" and our computers will show us the film

I'd love to see that

the future is kinda like they already show us in matrix or ExistenZ you will have a port (either in the back of your head/neck or lower in the spine) you will hook up a cable there and hook you to a machine where you can either spectate a movie from within it, kinda like a ghost that can move, see and feel everything but not interact or you can choose to start in the film as some of the characters then you will only see what the character see and interact kinda like a videogame they will also add a choice to "jump" from a character to a different one later on.

I think this would be a new medium entirely. Movies are made by an artist using a camera to frame a shot. That would be impossible in VR die to us having control over the frame.

your mind will be the camera your thought will be the frame you are the artist we are in hell. (i was joking tho i basically took that idea from a script i wrote is all fantasy lol, don't take me seriously)

I would be all over that shit.
Did you know there's a mod in Skyrim VR where you can do that?
speak the lines, i mean.

I'm a little afraid entertainment will be flat if left entierly to AI.

We havent used AI and it's already flat enough with all the sequels and remakes.

And EEAAO, and PUSS in Boots 2, and Maverick, and Avatar 2, and Tar, and Glass Onion...
There have been absolute gems this year, list goes on.
No AI in the world will be able to replicate that, with its limited way of thinking.
Because it'll be programmed by humans, and humans are flawed, so the AI will be flawed, and whatever it makes will be flawed.
I trust a machine with repetitive tasks, not imagination.

i am more worried about us becoming more and more like an AI, than the AI doing the art, you can always refuse to watch that and ppl always gonna want to make art, but if the people become psychologically engineer to lose its humanity and become more and more like a machine... then we are fucked. And the scary part is that i already see that happen, even in the examples you name, as much great or stunning achievements those films are one can almost see the algorithm behind it.
so yeah i think we headed in that direction already.
rough beacon
Maybe. But i still think there's a spark of humanity behind them still. And in the future, that spark will always be found in indie cinema, like the...small low budget shorts i'm making.
