ANNOUNCING THE METAVERSE AT A SOCIAL DISTANCE.
In March 2020, we were getting ready to help Facebook introduce Horizon, a limit / legs-free, Minecraft-like VR universe for beta testers. Then, COVID. So we improvised, casting and directing a group of product designers as VR avatar puppeteers via Zoom (all footage is actual game-capture), then filming (through VR headsets), designing, and editing it all together from our respective bedrooms. I led sound design and music. If you listen closely at 0:30, you can hear my cameo as the yellow avatar falling to her doom. I’m showing the agency version because it retains my sole darling, the “it’s beta” joke at the end.
