THE LAST MOUNTAIN
DIR. AVRAM DODSON
US | 2 Mins | Real-Time Animation
The Last Mountain is an original story about a rock creature in search of companionship, written and directed by Avram Dodson. It sought to answer a couple key questions about translating cinematic conventions to this new medium: do camera cuts work in a 360 degree environment when the viewer is in control? Can the viewer's gaze be effectively directed? Is it possible to have the camera move without causing nausea?
