"With the idea of creating a dreamy sequence for the lead character, Keeley and Hugh explored the idea of introducing a new and emerging technology called “NeRFs” or “Neural Radiance Fields” to the project. This is the first time that this AI-based image-generating process has been fully integrated into VR 180º.During post-production, they collaborated with Forrest Briggs from Volurama to incorporate this post-camera movement into the sequence. “To achieve the ideal image for the “dream scene” we used my iPhone to scan some locations of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. For the render, we used our Gigabyte Aorus 17X laptop to obtain an 8K 3D 180 output with AI, and it took us three weeks to complete a 40-second clip even with NVidia RTX 4090 GPU. However, the result is worth every second,” explained Hugh."

At 15:22 in this video, we see what look like dolly and boom shots (usually expensive)! Hugh and team made these shots on an indie budget using Volurama by capturing a NeRF in a few seconds with an iPhone, then rendering it into photorealistic 8K VR180 and Spatial Video formats!
Wayne has been using Volurama to create an extensive collection of stereoscopic and VR180 video fly-throughs on YouTube. Check them out!
