A whimsical, live-action, immersive story about a girl and a ray of light
Written and Directed by Rafael Pavon Produced by Future Lighthouse & Greyskull (2016)
Awaken to a dreamlike world where reality and imagination intertwine in this enchanting virtual reality experience that pushes the boundaries of interactive storytelling and visual artistry in VR.
This innovative project follows Lucy, a dreamy teenage girl, as she encounters Ray, a mysterious light creature. Their whimsical dance of light unfolds in Lucy’s bedroom, a space that becomes an extension of her inner world and a playground for curiosity and trust.
“Ray” seamlessly blends cutting-edge VR technology with artistic vision. The experience combines meticulously planned live-action stereoscopic choreography, high-end visual effects, and expressive real-time particle systems. This technical mastery is complemented by creature vocal sound design and an arresting soundtrack by Nico Casal, known for his work on the Oscar-winning short film “Stutterer.”
What began as a linear immersive fairytale evolved into a fully interactive 6DOF narrative experience, showcasing the potential of VR as a medium for nuanced storytelling. “Ray” invites viewers to explore the delicate balance between trust and possession, rewarding curiosity and creating a uniquely personal journey for each participant.
