Cuba In Virtual Reality!
My name is CJ and I want to take you to Cuba in Virtual Reality. I have been producing Virtual Reality for almost 2 years but I have never directed and produced my own project. But wait what is Virtual Reality? Virtual Realty or VR is a new immersive technology that enables 360 video. While VR has been slow to progress, it is taking off right now and almost anyone can view VR on their phone, tablet, computer or using a VR headset.
But why Cuba? Because Cuba is the land of the unknown and recently while shooting a Promotional video for some friends I took an interest in Cuba and learning what we don't know and why we don't know it. So for one week this spring I will explore, dance, dine, and rewind time as I attend the Ritmo Salsa Festival in beautiful Havana Cuba but if you want to relive the experience in HD 360 Virtual Reality I will need some help.
While I have already invested thousands of dollars into cameras, computers, and software and countless hours into becoming a skilled VR producer I need your help covering travel and post production expenses.
Why do I need help and why should you help me?
- I am already deep in to this project... as in I have already spent thousands of dollars on the proper equipment and software to make this happen. Not to mention the countless hours behind a computer becoming a professional VR producer.
- On average for ever 1 min of VR I film it can take up to 4 hours to stitch, process and edit the content... So if I aim to make a 5-6 min video that means I'll be editing for about 24 hours and that is a very conservative estimate.
- The perks! If you donate 20$ or more I will put your name in the credits and send you a link to the video. If you donate 50$ or more I will do the previously mentioned and I will send you a Google Cardboard VR set to watch the video with. If you donate 100$ or more I will do the previously mentioned and I send you a plastic clip on glasses set to watch the video with. If you donate 300$ or more I will do the previously mentioned and I will send you a full sized VR head set. Finally if you donate 500$ dollars or more I will do the previously mentioned and I will personally thank you on camera in Cuba during production.
Thanks!!
Thank you all so much for helping me with this once in a lifetime opportunity. Traveling the world is a huge part of my life but equally as important is the ability to share my experiences and there is no better way to do that then a 360 Virtual Reality experience! Thanks again and I can't wait to share the land of Cuba with you in 360 Virtual Reality!
