Dreadspace
Directed by: Augustus Bernstein
A lonely, disabled grandfather tries to connect with his neglected grandson, exploring both the potential and the danger of virtual reality.
The story takes place in both the real world and also inside of a virtual reality video game. In order to create an immersive environment for the VR experience we took our own experiences with video games and decided to do something unconventional and shoot our film in both 24fps and 60fps. The video game portion was shot in 60fps to better emulate the hyper-real sensation of virtual reality and its association with video games. The real world portion was shot in 24fps. The end result is a film plays at 60fps while seamlessly jumping back and forth between a traditional film look of 24fps and the smooth motion of 60fps.
