Samsung to open VR movie studio in New York: ‘We love stories’

Lights, camera, Samsung! The company behind the Gear VR virtual reality headset is opening a New York studio to produce new immersive experiences.
Samsung announced the news here at the Sundance film festival in Park City, Utah, where virtual reality is emerging as a prominent theme.
I have absolutely no idea what the hell Samsung means by that.
Dave Fincher “would have an embolism doing VR”, Scheer joked of the man who directed the psychological thrillers ” Seven,” “Fight Club” and “Gone Girl.”
The Funny or Die sketch was shot on a custom camera rig built by director Lex Halaby, who opened up and adjusted a selection of GoPro action cameras. The production design of the sketch added comic elements all around the room, and the creators also payed extra attention to the “blocking” of the scene, or where the actors stand and move around. “When Rob’s talking to you,” Halaby said, “you can look around and see what Paul’s doing that’s funny or interesting behind you.”
I’d realllly like to see that one. It sounds like they understood perfectly what they could do with VR.
