The spatial computing edition of this experience would not have been possible without the support of Magic Leap via their Independent Creator Program and StoryFutures Academy Production Booster Funding. This support allowed us to dive deeper into the possibilities of spatial storytelling. Seeing the characters walk around your own room through mixed reality glasses as they tell their story offers a familiarity and empathetic connection that goes way beyond traditional media consumption.

This is an exemplar of powerful and potent storytelling in this new medium. It is beautiful. It is sad. It is honest and it is unforgettable.
Dan Tucker - Curator of Alternate Realities in Sheffield Doc/Fest
Beautiful. Not only moving, but also visually stunning.

Soundtrack
Listen now
Director Aaron Bradbury approached Starkey to do the score; during development, the producer’s Crashing Sphere from 2011 Civil Music album Orbits immediately came to mind as the soundtrack for the climax of the film. The rest of the music and sound design, which plays throughout the entire VR experience was composed with this piece as the primary source material; a hybrid digital / analog sound palette. In the creation of this soundtrack, mixes were created which would represent how one might experience the VR film, however, in a real viewing, the mixes and blends of sounds for many of the cues vary depending on the viewer’s positioning and personal experience of the film. Think of this Vestige (Original Soundtrack) as a 2D rendering of the score.

Cutting edge immersive tools
VESTIGE uses room-scale VR to allow the viewer to co-habit the story and find their own personal vantage point by traversing the virtual space in a physically mapped and tracked volume. Volumetric live capture powered by DepthKit uses RGBD camera systems to capture real actors with 3-dimensional depth information and video information to enable 6DOF interaction. Bespoke music and sound elements are spatialized to interact with the spoken words and add a layer of emotion within the constructed sonic landscape. All the elements are brought together in the Unity real-time engine where the intelligent, responsive systems are integrated and additional runtime procedural art direction executed.
