That is very different for ESPN Films, and it sounds more like something we’d see on E:60 or Outside The Lines. I’m really excited about that on the horizon.” I think it’s a bit of a departure for us that will be less narrative storytelling and more first-person scientific journalism almost.
“It’s a multi-part series about performance and the limits of performance and the evolution of the pursuit of perfection with the human body. “This is a project we talked to Alex about for literally several years and we’ve recently moved forward,” said Schell. Though he was coy about what those actually are, he did hint at one: a project with Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney (who made the “30 for 30” documentary “Catching Hell” in 2011 that looked at the Steve Batman incident during Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series at Chicago’s Wrigley Field) on athletes’ obsession with physical excellence. Schell says there are also a few big ideas similar in scope as “O.J.: Made in America” that he has kicking around. Prime Video will air three-part Skydance/Meadowlark/Ocellated Media “Good Neighbors” docuseries on USA-Mexico men’s soccer.Commanders’ president calls reporter’s Carson Wentz interview a “pompous, unprofessional mess,” says “Don’t expect special access”.Linda Cohn talks how she, Scott Van Pelt, and other anchors initially opposed the BottomLine showing scores before highlights.Dave Revsine looks back on 15 years at Big Ten Network, and ahead to the football season.“You really believe you’re doing what you’ve dreamed about or never thought would be possible. “There’s nothing like high-fiving someone in virtual reality-it’s awesome,” Plumer says. Now, technology at THE VOID gives the user the chance to live those stories, and share the experience with a friend right next to you. Plumer says he grew up with movies and loved them so much he built a career around it.
You can be surrounded by iconic characters that you’ve only seen on a movie screen. Experiencing places you’ve dreamed about in virtual reality is like living your favorite movie story. You can thank his film background for that. “The first time I tried it, I thought of storytelling.” The friend handed Plumer a crazy-looking device that looked like ski goggles with wires hanging out. His friend wanted to show Plumer his latest tech project. The first time Plumer tried virtual reality, he was in Santa Monica with a friend. “Not only to focus on what we’re doing, but I like to think we’re shocking the world a little bit.” “It’s nice that we’re able to do this in Utah,” he says. Both iconic places are known for innovative tech experiences. These people really stuck to their vision and created something unique and special that I don’t think could have been done in Hollywood or Silicon Valley.” “So there’s obviously a lot of local pride with the team here that they know they’re building something special for a global market. “Most people would expect this coming out of Hollywood or Silicon Valley but it’s not,” he says. Maybe visit Mars or land on the moon? Plumer says he’s working on that experience becoming a reality. Want to climb to the base of a waterfall with one of your friends and feel the cool mist? No problem. Want to visit Egyptian pyramids and feel the warm wind tousle your hair? Done. This VR company based in Lindon can create any time period or location in the world. “In my film career I was fortunate to work on milestone Hollywood movies that always required innovation. “I’ve always been attracted to the next big thing,” he says. So from there, his career path morphed: He became THE VOID’s CEO during February 2017.
“But she doesn’t really like the stuff I do and she didn’t want to do it-my wife loved it.” “She hates when I tell this story,” he says. With his wife in tow-someone Plumer says is a tough sell for a virtual reality experience-both of them experienced THE VOID for the first time. “I was coming from a high point,” he says, “and I always say that I thought I was already working in VR until I experienced THE VOID.” In 2015, Plumer visited THE VOID on his way to the airport after a trip to Sundance, where he presented a film. But Cliff Plumer says his first experience with a virtual reality startup company in Utah is close.
If you’re the man who got to work on Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars, you might not find many other experiences that measure up.
