Reported to Kwame Newman-Bremang, where I assisted with the first ever HotDocs DocX Virtual Reality showcase. Primarily I worked the line ensuring the audience had a great visual and Virtual Reality quality understanding of each of the films they had the opportunity to see as some of the audience would not have time to view each Virtual Reality film.Entertained the audience, who were waiting in line, showing examples that Deep 360 had provided on a 'cardboard' style Virtual Reality viewer using an IPod Touch. Also discussed with those interested some of the technical aspects of the techniques I witnessed, as well as possible other techniques that can be used with Virtual Reality Cinematography when prompted by the audience. We also conversed on the Samsung Gear VR hardware, and why it was a much stronger asset for Virtual Reality documentaries that were pre recorded with the Go Pro Hero rigs do to its portable and wireless nature, as well as at this time, having the higher 2560x1440 resolution.During the time at this festival I watched & learned from Kwame a lot of the key details to scale from Single Rig Virtual Reality presentations to Four station team presentations at a Documentary venue. I also learned from Rennan some key techniques on documenting the experience through interviews and photography.
