Can you sum up the pilot for us?   

The Perfect Place is a 360-video dance performance made by ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Scotland and Scottish Ballet. It explores the inside story of a seemingly perfect relationship. We've made a and watch the making of this experience.

What does it do?      

The Perfect Place uses 360-degree video technology to create a new way to experience dance. The performance has been specially choreographed for this video.

How was it made?    

We worked very closely with Scottish Ballet to come up with an approach that truly embraces the medium. This project features very high resolution composited 360 video, green screen technology and location filming captured on 360 video cameras.

Any challenges and what were the solutions?      

The biggest challenge was in ensuring the viewer focuses on the parts of the video we want them to look at. We used theatrical techniques, in combination with directed storytelling, and dance, to lead the viewer through the experience.

What are you hoping learn from doing this project?       

We wanted to tell a story within a 360 space and create a dance experience, designed from the ground up, to work within that medium. As such, we would like to know if our audience enjoyed the film, but more than that, did experiencing it in 360 make it more special for them?
