Sabya Clarke: Creating Black History With Cinematic Virtual Reality Experiences Posted on April 19, 2018May 1, 2018 By Dangerous Lee In A Virtual World… I watched as the older African woman lifted the sleepy young boy onto her shoulder. I floated behind her, taking in the surreal scene around me as she leisurely walked towards a small cabin ahead. The night sky was above me and I was surrounded by strange and colorful plants I’d never seen before. Music, with no discernible source, seemed to surround the pair as I followed them to the cabin’s patio. The old woman opened the door and turned, looking straight at me. I didn’t know how that was possible, I was nothing but a ghost. But she smiled and walked inside, leaving the door open for me. I let myself in and watched as she laid the boy on her bed and tucked him in. She glided to the center of her little house and settled herself down on a rocking chair by the fireplace. Back To Life, Back To Reality That’s when the moment ended, and I had to take my Oculus headset off. I was in a virtual reality world. To Patch a Broken Star is a cinematic virtual reality experience that I wrote and am directing for release in 2019. I live and breathe a different world almost everyday as I write, direct, and help build a supernatural fairy tale in a virtual world. I am a creator. I am a West African in America. I am an entrepreneur in a world where over half of business fail within the first five years.This is my non-virtual reality. I named my virtual reality production company Cinemagick for one reason: There is magic in taking an old idea, the glory of the cinema, and bringing into the new world of immersive technology. In new and exciting mediums like VR and AR, my self-expression has more opportunities to flourish, unlike in the old world of movie-making that’s full of limitations. I love making VR, and I encourage other women to explore immersive technologies. About Author Dangerous Lee administrator Content Creator and Everythang in Chief of Dangerous Lee Publishing.
