‘The Jungle Book’: Creating Virtual Reality Experiences with VFX Supervisor Keith Miller
In September, Disney invested over $60 million in the Virtual Reality start-up company Jaunt, another sign that the once-dormant format was back on the upswing. It wasn’t too long ago that VR was considered a joke, a relic from the 90s as kitschy and outdated as The Lawnmower Man. But the VR movement has now come back full circle into the limelight. Last year, ILM released the ‘Trials on Tatooine’, a short VR piece in conjunction with Star Wars: The Force Awakens and just this month, Disney released two short The Jungle Book VR experiences. In King Louie: Cold Lairs, you see through Mowgli’s eyes as he comes face to face with titular Great Ape.
