During our run of twenty live performances as a work-in-progress at the 2020 Venice International Film Festival, we had the chance to invite on of my all-time favorite VR bloggers to be a Hero in Alien Rescue: the amazing Tony Vitello, AKA Skarred Ghost! Tony has been an inspiration and somewhat of a mentor to me as I moved from researcher and experimenter into the world of professional VR producer and director.
His performance was hysterical, chaotic, and fun. I think he had a pretty good time too! Here's one quote:
"I loved that the other characters have a clear personality and that since they were made by live actors, they felt so real. And since nothing was scripted, they could every time adapt to the real context that was happening. One of the characters, for instance, looked like being a shady person, and I didn’t know if I could trust him or not. And while I was talking with him, I started behaving a bit as I behave in real life with people I don’t completely trust. This is a true next-level of immersion."
