Some contract projects:
2019, Forgotten VR (Development)
Role: Co-writer, co-designer
Project: Narrative non-fiction VR doco (based on real life events)
Client: StarSapphire Productions, funded by Screen Australia
Notes: Since the co-writer/designer/director had not worked on an interactive project like this before, I ran a VR Writers Room to immerse the team. Feedback from Screen Australia:
“The script is a really good read, and a great complement to the visual material. It has clearly benefitted from the extensive work the team did in the Writer’s Room in Brisbane – it reads like something that has been thoroughly workshopped to take into account all the possibilities of the medium itself (visuals, sounds, interactive/user experience).”
