I'm Khang, a filmmaker from Minneapolis, Minnesota, focusing on VR animated/motion-capture films!
I view my filmmaking passion as a hobby and work on my films in my free time outside of my full-time profession as a Mechanical Engineer. I've always had an interest in films, though it was only recently that I was able to pursue it.
As VR technology began to expand and become more consumer friendly, I was able to use it to make films that are produced mainly in VR. Consumer tracking pucks and VR headsets allow us to capture character avatar movements in 3D environments, with the avatar's facial expressions being controlled with face tracking and animations. This medium is quite new, which is why we find that many people are unaware it exists!
This animated/motion-capture medium is not one or the other. Though there are elements of animation, the majority of character movements are motion captured. I classify this with a term my studio and I came up with: "Animotion"!
I am currently the studio lead of my small indie film studio, Studio Penrose. We are comprised of filmmakers, musicians, sound engineers, and developers across the world, working together to create these films entirely for fun.
If you have any questions at all about me or our unique method of storytelling, feel free to reach out to me. I love talking about this!
