Net Art music video for Amnesia Scanner track by Sam Rolfes is a real-time first-person one-take shot in a surreal environment, created with the Unreal gaming engine and an Oculus Rift:
I used Unreal engine to build the environment, and then the video was recorded live while I controlled the head movement and legs (and a few other triggers) with Oculus Rift and keyboard and my friend Olivia Rogers controlled the stage movement, lights, and refractions with a playstation controller. It was all recorded with a capture device into my laptop.
One of the most dear projects I’ve done in a while, was a grueling production but really happy with how everything turned out.
