Users are able to create, share and experience the target environment/application collaboratively (and independently) in VR cloud with connected access to the Unity asset store. This enables rapid prototyping and development of immersive apps and supporting wider digital creativity - Film, TV, Theatre, Education, Games ++
With FirstStage you can rapidly create prototype scenarios for Film, TV, Games, Theatre, Immersive learning ++ and move to full production as a collaborative online team – creating scenarios and developing ideas in real time – together or alone. Further information is available on the website: firststage.moviestorm.co.uk.
Below are some links to output examples from FirstStage Beta projects and the demo as a video ( 4 minute and 10 minute versions):
- FirstStage - Introducing the Basics - Short Edit The 10 minute demo with subtitles - Introducing the Basics
- An immersive learning demo created for a UK training company - Fire Training Player Character
This is an example of a video where the user can lead the process guided by a NPC (non-player character), or the user can direct the NCP to perform the activities. - Virtual band performance - Skullz Blackout 30 second sample, and here is Soundr's user story
The two tracks were created in just one afternoon using Ready Player Me characters in a Unity Asset Store set, by the song creator in our studio. The face and body mocap was created using an iPhoneX and a Vive VR set up with trackers. - Dr Evil General Motors Superbowl user story
This was a remarkable project started only a few days before they were due to start building the set. Between that time and the actual filming, there were radical changes to the script, from a two level set to adding a baby, and due to FirstStages 'live' storyboard capabilities, we were used right through the shoot to explore and resolve production ideas as they occurred. "The future of pre-production" as the Executive Producer said afterwards! - Beneath restrictive set design user story
We were approached by a producer who was looking to resolve a three year problem... "How should I construct the set for a production shot entirely in a mini-sub, and what shots are best and possible?". The set was modelled within FirstStage in an afternoon, and not only answered the question, but also gave the lead actress an opportunity to immerse herself within the virtual space.
