| I am intrigued by the idea of turning a standard music video into a VR experience. The primary difference between the two is the amount of control over the audience's camera angles. In a VR experience, the viewer has at least some control of the overall view they are seeing. In order to gently direct the user's attention, I have been experimenting with lighting, shadows, and motion in ways that are commonly used in staged theater.
| | In the first phase of the project, I built a VR experience music video. In the second phase, I transformed the VR experience into an ordinary music video with various predetermined camera angles. |

| Setting:
| | The video is set to the aria ''S’altro che lacrime'' from Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito. The lyrics of the aria translate to: “If you cannot give him anything but your tears, all of your weeping is for nothing. Your useless pity is similar to cruelty.” The video is a reaction piece to the death of George Floyd. It is meant to be a call to action. |

| Because I am currently in the US and we have been focused on the death of George Floyd for almost a month, I decided to design a music video inspired by the protests. I'm focusing on the bizarre relationship between a man's personal tragedy and the personal connection the public start to feel despite not knowing him.
| | The video begins with several camera shots of a casket containing the particle effects of a white fog and a black aura. The black aura emits a sound of TV static with volume mapped to camera distance. |

| -I had built a portal that transported the user through the video camera objects into a living room where people are sitting around watching the same scene on TV. (I used another camera as a render texture to display what the video camera objects would see). Unfortunately, this broke right before creating a video so I have to leave this out for now.
| | Phase 2 video: |
| -I'm thinking of trying to learn how to do facial expression mocap in order to animate the singing.
