Best VR Experience To Date
I bought VR for the gaming experiences, but I have to tell you that this short film was spectacular, and made me realize how much more VR is then just gaming. Do yourself a favor and experience Angelica.
Stunning
This movie was a punch in the gut. I was bawling by the end. Phenominal
Moved me to tears – the hype is real
This is not just a deeply emotional story of a mother and daughter beautifully illustrated. This is witnessing the birth of a new medium. Not only is it the first illustrated VR short using the groundbreaking VR painting/drawing tool Quill, but the effective use of scale and environment for storytelling necessitate the use of VR to achieve their full impact. For a time I was afraid to view it, thinking I had hyped it up too much in my mind and that I wasn’t emotionally prepared for it. But it lived up to its expectations fully. Considering its free and takes no more than 5 minutes to view, you have absolutely no excuse not to experience Dear Angelica.
See you there!
