Comedy Dynamics says it will be the first production company to shoot entire stand-up comedy specials using virtual reality (VR) technology.
As the first mass consumer devices hit the market, Dynamics aims to completely immerse audiences into stand-up comedy shows.
Attached to a circular rig, 10 individual GoPro – Hero4 Black 4K cameras will capture 360° of comedy from every spot in the house, says the company. The first shoot in VR will be Season 4 of their original series on Hulu; Coming To The Stage.
