The Making of PheNoumenon: A 360° Immersive VR Experience《现·象 360°虚拟實境》| Documentary | Eng Sub

When live performances were halted during the start of the pandemic, instead of cancelling the entire show, T.H.E Dance Company adapted their dance production into an immersive virtual reality experience, a first of its kind. I interviewed the production team - from the cinematography director to the lighting designer, to find out about their inspirations, processes and challenges that made this highly-complex production possible.

Beyond the technicalities, this short documentary also explores the deeper relationship between human existence and the arts. This production was a testament to the resilience and creativity that artists possess. Creating this documentary during the pandemic gave me a renewed sense of hope and inspiration that art pushes boundaries, even and especially in times of crisis.
