Using the Blackmagic software’s features, he created a timeline in 7680 x 7680 resolution, with the added complexity of left and right eyes in portrait and landscape orientation. Post-producing a VR pieceĮditor Matt DeJohn used DaVinci Resolve Studio to assemble Alex Honnold: The Soloist VR. These angles were then stitched together to create a fully stereoscopic 360-degree image. Griffith used a virtual reality camera with eight lenses designed to capture a 360-degree view, which generated eight clips at a resolution of 3840 x 2880. I have to climb these mountains as well, and I have to put the rigging system together myself. Our type of production doesn’t have huge rigging systems it’s just me with what I can carry. Griffith himself recounts: “We need to shoot a 360 degree panorama around our subject, so we have to get the camera out from the cliff as far as we possibly can.

Once he had convinced Honnold, he began the technical planning without any preference for how to capture the adventure as realistically as possible without having to use too much equipment or too many devices.

The feature film, from Jonathan Griffith Productions, is available on the Oculus TVapp for the Meta Quest virtual reality goggles.Īfter his successful feature film Everest VR, Griffith felt that the next step might be to make a solo climbing piece.
