The man behind The Jungle Book and Iron Man is among the first Hollywood directors to explore the unique storytelling tools of VR.
Jon Favreau is the rare traditional filmmaker to push into virtual reality. After becoming one of the most successful directors in Hollywood with Elf and Iron Man , Favreau pushed the envelope of motion-capture digital filmmaking with last year’s hit The Jungle Book. Now one of his latest projects is a brief, interactive 360-degree scene called “Gnomes & Goblins,” currently available on the HTC Vive and soon for Oculus Rift.
