Turning Forest
In a land that never was and a time that could never be, a child stared into the eyes of a fantastical creature. Around them, a magical forest, in front of them, a magical journey.
The Turning Forest is a virtual reality fairytale written by Shelley Silas, directed by Oscar Raby, produced by VRTOV, with 3D sound by BBC Research & Development in collaboration with S3A.
A unique VR audio proposition, the sound was recorded on location in a forest with a 20 microphone 3D array. This was followed by intricate 3D sound design creating a mix with complex layers of natural sound.
The piece demonstrates the possibilities of richer sound in virtual reality.
Directed by Oscar Raby, VRTOV has worked with BBC R&D to craft a powerful, art-driven experience that evokes the emotional space of a magical forest, enchanted with sounds - a place where anything might happen.
