Love's Sorrow

Lucina plays the piano, reminiscing about some memories of her parents.

This 360 short was made as an experiment for learning about 360 degree filming in VRChat and allowed the Studio Penrose team to gain an understanding of the limitations of this genre of filmmaking. This unique style of filmmaking allows the audience to look around while a film is playing, creating a sense of immersion where they can almost feel as though they are inside the film. As technology advances, we hope that more mediums like this can arise.

RAINDANCE IMMERSIVE SUMMIT & SHOWCASE IN LONDON

The 360 short will be on show during the Raindance Immersive Summit at Wonderville in London on 19th June, and during our public showcase in London on 21st, 22nd and 23rd June.
