Dream 212

Melt for Pause Fest 2018

DREAM 212 is a short virtual journey to the dreamworld. An experiment marking the first successful run of Dreaminator 3000, a machine that extracts dreams to C4D and renders them in amazing stereoscopic 3D virtual reality with Octane. MELT was able to record over a minute of 4K 360° material using EPDC (equirectangular projection dream capture) technology. This is the first time audience can experience the virtual dream in crystal clear hi-res VR.

Virtual reality is about experiencing the impossible. Like literally stepping inside the 3D animation. It opens up so many possibilities for the world of entertainment.

PROCESS

Dream 212 actually originated from the yet unpublished piece MELT made about 3 years ago. They wanted to return to this colorful, graphic world. Where every couple moments, the smooth, uncut camera motion unveils a new poster-like scene. And bring it to VR. Rendering the same animation as a 360 one never works. You can look around, but that’s it. The original scene was designed so you can only see the scene in front of you and was framed rigorously. After a lot of world building, changes and experiments we started to feel like we’re there.
