For the first time ever, the famed 48 Hour Film Project will embark on a VR competition, in just one weekend!

In collaboration with the CineGlobe Film Festival at CERN, GoPro, the World VR Forum, and the Geneva International Film Festival Tous Ecrans, the 48 Hour Film Project VR Edition will invite creators to produce a 3 to 7 minute 360 degree film in 48 hours, in a genre of science-fiction.

As part of this inaugural event, GoPro will provide 6 Omni camera rigs for both a training period before the filmmaking weekend, as well as during the competition itself. In addition, training in Video-stitching software Kolor Autopano Video Pro will be offered to the 6 users of the Omni rigs, and computers will be provided.
