360 degree videos are all the rage now, apparently. Last week saw the release of the PARANORMAL ACTIVITY: THE GHOST DIMENSION 360 clip, and today we're getting the same deal from THE FOREST. I must say, it's a totally unique way to experience filmmaking, and even if you're not interested in the particular film, it's worth checking it out just to play with the tech. This video makes THE FOREST's pretty innovative motion poster look like a View-Master.
Warning: You can only access full functionality of this video through a mobile device with directional recognition, like an iPad, iPhone, or other similar devices.
You can experience the forest in 360 degrees right here.
In THE FOREST:
A young American woman, Sara (Dormer), journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Kinney), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.
Directed by Jason Zada and starring Natalie Dormer, Taylor Kinney, Yukiyoshi Ozawa, and Eoin Macken, THE FOREST will rustle into theaters on January 8th.
