The brothers Lumière film ”L’arrivée d’un train à la gare de la Ciotat” created a sensation back in 1896. The legend goes that the audience panicked when they saw a train coming directly at them.
For my first virtual reality film I have recreated a 3D model of the Ciotat station and the arrival of the train. My goal was to create the same thrill the public had in 1896 - but in a today's Virtual Reality headset. The camera also follows a couple happily in love as together they discover virtual spaces inspired by de Chirico’s metaphysical perspectives and Monet’s color palette.

My background as a filmmaker has heavily influenced my approach to 3D. But in virtual reality I want to go even a step further. I want to create the illusion of a fourth dimension. Inside a VR headset our senses are transported to a different place and time. Within this virtual space traditional storytelling fail and open a realm of new forms of expression.
I owe my artistic freedom to the Blender Foundation and its generous community. Today I am totally independent. For chroma key filming I use my Iphone, modeling I use 3D Blender and post production Final Cut.
Romance is my first film for a virtual reality headset. You can also see the film in a normal widescreen version in another project on FilmFreeway.
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
