The release of high-resolution VR headsets like the Meta Quest Pro and advancements in software and hardware, have allowed PHORIA to elevate their immersive content to new heights. The team is constantly evolving and adapts to industry trends, making Stereo 3D workflows a standard part of their video production pipeline.
Exploring uncharted territory with ZCAM K2 and Mistika VR
Embarking on a new project can be challenging and filming a nature documentary series in high-definition VR 180 presented unique obstacles. When we started pre-production for our VR series ecosphere', I had never worked with a VR 180 camera or even any footage. I turned to online resources and found some helpful tutorials and guides from SGO for Mistika VR, said Eneasi.

As the project progressed, the team faced additional challenges as they worked with a ZCAM K2 camera prototype consisting of two high-end, mini-cinema cameras joined side by side. In addition, filming in new environments from the in the air to underwater presented further hurdles. The team worked tirelessly to establish a groundbreaking new workflow and test footage from the cameras themselves, all while navigating uncharted territory. Despite these challenges, their dedication and commitment to delivering exceptional content shone through.
ecosphere': Environmental conservation and cinematic 360 VR
ecosphere' is a cinematic 360 VR series, highlighting the community-led sustainability and conservation methods used in Kenya, Indonesia and Malaysia. It continues to be one of my favourite projects because we were able to connect with different communities. The stories were filmed and directed by our co-founder and Experiential Director, Joseph Purdam. He was able to capture some of the craziest content I have ever worked on, emphasised Eneasi.
The entire post-production process was done in Mistika VR allowing them to deliver engaging and captivating stories.

There are many adjustments and parameters to play with in Mistika VR's toolset and it has become an intrinsic part of the work I do at PHORIA. For this project, we experienced nature as never before, filming with wild Elephants and Lions and also diving with large Manta Rays. The optical flow and edge points workflow allowed us to generate one of our best-looking videos.
Key features: Mistika's Anaglyph View and Alignment Tool
During post-production, the team had the opportunity to work with renowned filmmaker and VR technical specialist James Donald. With James' expertise, we were able to create nice looking camera presets in Mistika using footage from the new cameras. Later on, Eric Cheng from Meta joined us in our studio in Australia and together we designed an efficient workflow using Mistika VR.
Eneasi and team identified two key Mistika VR features that proved essential in establishing their pipeline.
The Anaglyph View and Alignment Tool are everything an editor will need to create comfortable 3D VR 180 content and for this project they were extremely helpful. Mistika's extensive toolset allowed us to fine-tune every parameter and ensure our videos looked and felt great, added Eneasi.
