Behind the Scenes of the Virtual Reality Work " Oto’s Planet "
Discover the fascinating journey of creating an immersive experience, from the initial idea to its release to the public. The artist will reveal the key stages: conception, preparatory drawings, 2D/3D modeling, animatics, motion capture, development in Unity, and sound creation. Offering humor, warmth, and deep reflections, Oto's Planet combines immersive VR technology with an original story that invites users to explore the comedic chaos of cohabitation in space. "Oto's Planet follows the peaceful life of Oto, who prefers nothing more than lounging in his hammock and enjoying the fruits of the only tree on his small planet. His tranquility is disrupted when Exo, a hyperactive and clumsy astronaut, crashes with his small spaceship. The ensuing attempts at communication and cohabitation between these two unlikely roommates are full of difficulties." (Gwenael François) Gwenael François is a Franco-Luxembourgish director and producer, co-founder of Skill Lab. He has directed short films and narrative music videos combining creativity and technology. Produced by Skill Lab, Dpt., and Small Creative, this 28-minute immersive experience has already been featured in nearly 30 festivals. Oto's Planet won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Immersive competition at the Biennale di Venezia as well as the Best International Immersive Experience award at the Geneva International Film Festival (GIFF).
