Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Eloise Singer, director and founder of Singer Studios, and Dr. Dave Ranyard, producer, immersive media pioneer, and studio director, to explore their VR work currently under consideration for an Emmy nomination and recently showcased at the Cannes Film Festival in the Immersive Competition. Their projects are redefining how we engage with history through virtual reality. From the windswept decks of The Pirate Queen to the revolutionary journey of Bertha Benz in Trailblazer , this conversation delves into the creative and technical processes behind these genre-defying experiences. We discuss Trailblazer 's Cannes premiere, the growing field of immersive historical storytelling, and the importance of agency, embodiment, and innovation in shaping the future of XR, while exploring how VR challenges traditional boundaries between audience and narrative. And stay tuned for an exciting surprise announcement from Singer Studios!
