Kossmanndejong’s Post

Shooting Big VR in South Africa We’re thrilled to finally share some details about The Story of Emily, an immersive experience developed and designed by Kossmanndejong situated in Cornwall (UK) that transports visitors to the Second Anglo-Boer War (around 1900). This journey delves into the war’s impact on South Africa’s women and children, centering on Emily Hobhouse—the remarkable Englishwoman who became their advocate and voice in the darkest of times. Part of this meaningful project: a VR film titled THE CAMP, starring: Meghan Oberholzer and Cody Mountain, written and directed by award-winning South African filmmaker Nicola Hanekom, with historical guidance by Elsabe Brits, acclaimed author of Emily Hobhouse: Feminist, Pacifist, Traitor? Commissioned by The Newt, line producer: Fazila Kohl and produced by Public Agency (hey, that’s us :-) And for the tech geeks amongst us: we shot with an unprecedented 24K camera rig build by VR Techwizz John Thorborg, and finished the project in 12K, pushing hardware to its limits! Extensive set extensions, VFX, meticulous rotoscoping, and seamless stitching expertly handled by Machine Eleven: Angelo de Witt. We’re honored to have been part of bringing Emily’s legacy to life. A big shoutout to our overseeing client, Kossmanndejong, Robert van der Linde... and stay tuned, there’s more on the horizon! #VRFilm #ImmersiveTech #XRAWARDS #VR #MR
