During summer 2017, I was character animator for Giant Propeller (via Blue Faces) and working on a VR project for Microsoft‘s Mixed Reality Headsets. “Free the Night” is a VR experience that is aiming to immersively recreate childhood memories of gazing into the stars. The inspiring app enables audiences to place stars back into the sky and watch them glitter and swirl as they reclaim the night. It’s a combination of narrative and technology, both cinematic and interactive, and expands the limits of storytelling as we know it.
